Product History
References of honey can be found in ancient times, where it seemed to hold a special place in daily diet. Ancient Greeks believed that honey was the food of the Gods of Olympus (Nectar of the Gods). According to Greek mythology, Zeus was brought up with honey, by nymph Melissa at Diktaion Andron cave. Also, during the Byzantine period, honey was one of the main parts of the diet in monasteries. Today, the world-acclaimed Mediterranean Diet and particularly the Cretan Diet consider honey to be the main and healthiest sweetener. A symbol of fertility and well-being, the nutritional value of honey is undeniably great. Honey contains simple sugars which are directly absorbed by the body, making it a quick source of energy. It also contains vitamins and precious micronutrients.

Lasithi

The prefecture of Lasithi in the eastern part of the beautiful and hospitable island of Crete has a long history. This is reflected in its magnificent archaeological sites and remarkable monuments - ancient shrines and city ruins, Minoan settlements, palaces, fortresses and last but not least, its Byzantine monasteries. Lasithi is not only rich in natural beauty, but also has captivating contrasts - the massive mountains add a wild beauty to the area, acres of green fertile plains and picturesque villages. However, one should never forget to mention the majestic palm forest of “Vai” and the dreamlike sandy beaches which overflow with sunbathers and nature lovers throughout the year, especially during the summer months.
