Mouriki Greek Premium Honey

Mouriki Greek Premium Honey is a family-run business that has practiced nomadic beekeeping since 1960. Based in Dervenochoria, Voiotia, we manage over 2,500 bee colonies.

As modern honey nomads, we travel across Greece — from Messinia to Thassos Island, and from Central Macedonia and Halkidiki to Central Greece, Evritania, Peloponnese, and the Cycladic islands of Milos and Kimolos. Our bees forage in diverse, pristine environments, allowing us to produce top-quality honey and rare varieties.

At Mouriki Greek Premium Honey, we view beekeeping as a fine art, a cultural practice, and a way of life. This philosophy is reflected in our unique, innovative packaging, where our jars are regarded as small Greek art objects.

Visitors seeking a comprehensive beekeeping experience can visit Eleusis, just 15-20 minutes from the center of Athens, Attica, to meet Maria and Panagiotis, the dedicated third-generation beekeepers of Mouriki Greek Premium Honey.

Eleusis is a historically significant site, known worldwide as the birthplace of the Eleusinian Mysteries and Aeschylus, and was designated the European Capital of Culture in 2023.

In May 2024, Maria and Panagiotis opened a natural store only 200 meters from the archaeological site and the newly innovative Eleusis Museum, Attica. Here, visitors can sample over 14 rare and authentic Greek premium honey varieties, honeycomb, bee pollen, royal jelly, and other natural bee products.

Visitors can also join a guided apiary tour near the Eleusis airport — a walk among ancient olive trees, peanut trees, and eucalyptus trees, offering an immersive introduction to the world of bees.
