I think some Japanese person just put up an entry and Apple Maps scooped it up as-is.
The hotel I work for (also in Crete) was listed in the wrong address in Apple Maps and I had to make an openstreetmap account to edit it. It's showing correctly now.
Edit: I went to the place on Apple Maps and it's plain old English in mine, either they corrected it or it's a regional thing. It's not like this on openstreetmap either

The Japanese actually says Romantica Beach Villas.

Yeah, somebody didn't like a neighbour near us. Their garage had like 10 entries:
Sausage Butcher
Laundromat
Loans

Doesn’t open street map call it the Gulf of Mexico?

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Mexico#Name
Basically they list all, with gulf of mexico as the default for the en locale and an entry for official name in en-US

So Apple is specifically choosing the government tag then.
