Description

Our family’s legacy in beekeeping traces back to 1963 when our patriarch, Stelios Stathakis, initiated our journey by acquiring our first beehives, marking the onset of a fruitful endeavor. Over the years, fueled by an unwavering dedication and a profound love for beekeeping, our familial enterprise seamlessly transitioned across generations, upholding the tradition with the same fervor and conscientiousness. Nestled amidst the unique topography of our island home, we count ourselves immensely privileged.

Enter the realm of the StathakisFamily Cretan Honey Experience—an immersive odyssey that promises an unparalleled venture into the enchanting world of bees and the craft of producing authentic Cretan honey.

Within our domain, visitors are invited to delve into the rich tapestry of Cretan honey production, unraveling the intricate methods employed for its cultivation, extraction, and the integral role bees play within our ecosystem. With a lineage steeped in honey-making heritage, StathakisFamily takes immense pride in imparting our accumulated wisdom and unyielding passion for this natural nectar to our esteemed guests.
