Harvesting Crete Honey

This honey comes from the Asterousia Mountains and Mount Dikti in Crete, areas protected by the Natura 2000 network. These regions, rich in endemic herbs, wild thyme, and pine trees, provide ideal conditions for producing exceptional honey. The bees forage in a preserved environment, which imparts unique and high-quality characteristics to the honey.
