Back to newsThe Region of Crete has placed beekeeping support and the promotion of Cretan honey at the center of its agricultural agenda. Regional authorities are backing local beekeepers through dedicated programs aimed at strengthening production quality and raising the profile of this traditional Cretan product both domestically and internationally. Cretan honey, produced largely from thyme, pine, and wildflowers across the island's mountains and countryside, is considered among the finest in Greece and the Mediterranean. For visitors, this is a good reminder to seek out locally produced honey at markets, farm shops, and specialty food stores across the island. Look for certified Cretan honey labels when shopping in Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos. Supporting local beekeepers directly contributes to preserving one of Crete's most important agricultural and cultural traditions.
