In the footsteps of our ancestors.

A beekeeper with a smoker tends our hives on a mountain slope in Crete

Since 1997

We are a family of beekeepers in Sfakia, Crete, since 1997. Wild honey from our own hives.

See how it goes from hive to jar

Sfakia's secret: clean air, real honey.

Our bees work an untouched landscape of wild thyme, pine and herbs. What reaches the jar is honey as nature intended.
