Meligyris Cretan Honey
Local producer
Meligyris produces Cretan honey in Arkalohori in the Heraklion regional unit, collecting from hives placed at altitudes between 1500 and 2000 metres across the mountain ranges of Crete. The range includes mountain varieties from white thyme, wild thyme, and malotira — a medicinal herb endemic to Cretan highlands — as well as forest honeys derived from pine, oak, chestnut, and heather. The high-altitude collection sites, well above typical beekeeping elevations, expose the hives to a concentrated and diverse mountain flora. The operation holds organic certification, reflecting the remote and unpolluted character of the highland sites where the bees forage.
