Meligyris

Having followed the beekeeping tradition of his family since 1920,
Manolis Stefanakis established the apiary “Meligyris” which engages in
the production of rare types of honey from wild herbs of the Cretan land.

Manolis’ scientific background, as a graduate from the Agricultural
University of Athens as well as his longtime involvement in the family
business, led him to associate the microclimate in different geographical
areas (according to altitude, relative humidity and soil composition) with
the organoleptic & biochemical characteristics of the produced honey.

Meligyris apiary center is located in Arkalohori, a village in the
surroundings of Heraklion, Crete. A team of 23 specialists and a sales
team of 9, combine scientific knowledge with family tradition to offer a
range of exclusive honey products.
