Vasiliko Meli Beekeeping and Honey Tasting Experience in Preveza

Located in Petra, Preveza, Vasiliko Meli is a modern Greek beekeeping business that combines the traditions of Greek apiculture with modern technology and an authentic, hands-on introduction to the fascinating world of bees.

With its own privately owned beehives, Vasiliko Meli travels to different regions of Greece in search of exceptional flowering landscapes, producing distinctive varieties of authentic Greek honey. Its honeys have received recognition in international taste and quality competitions, while the company’s modern honey-packing facility in Petra, Preveza, ensures that every product is processed and packaged according to high quality standards.

At the heart of the experience is the new Vasiliko Meli Beekeeping Park, created as an engaging experience for both adults and children. Visitors have the opportunity to put on professional beekeeping protective clothing, approach a real hive, observe bees up close, and discover how Greek honey is produced with the guidance of an experienced beekeeper.
