Step Into the World of Bees
Slow down and experience the magic of Crete through the eyes of the bees. Led by a local beekeeper whose deep knowledge has been passed down through generations, our tours and workshops offer more than just a taste — they offer a tradition.
You’ll walk through wild thyme-filled hills, learn the secrets of the hive, and hear stories rooted in the rhythms of nature and island life.
Every moment is handcrafted, every jar tells a story — and every visit supports a way of life built on wisdom, care, and connection.

How do you ensure safety in the apiary?
Safety is our top priority. Full bee suits are provided and must be worn in the apiary. Closed-toe shoes are required, and guests with exposed skin will not be allowed into the bee yard. The apiary visit is optional — if you prefer not to participate, you’re still welcome to enjoy the sensory tasting, educational discussions, and indoor portions of the event.
Is this suitable for children?
Yes — families are welcome! That said, the experience is designed for adults and children aged 4–12 who are curious and comfortable around nature. The tour includes in-depth discussions about bees, biology, and tasting sessions, as well as standing outdoors for a period of time. We encourage you to consider your child’s interest and attention span. Feel free to contact us — we have kids, too, and are happy to help!
Do you offer private tours or group bookings?
Yes! We offer private events for families, small groups, schools, and other organizations. Please contact us directly to schedule a custom experience.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes are required. Hats and sunscreen are recommended, especially in the warmer months. Bee suits will be provided for the apiary portion of the tour.
Is the event accessible?
Accessibility depends on the location. Some outdoor areas are on uneven terrain. Please reach out to us in advance so we can advise and accommodate your needs.
Do I need to book in advance?

Can I buy honey or other products on-site?
Yes, after your tour or workshop you’ll have the opportunity to purchase fresh, local honey and handmade bee products.
Do you accommodate food allergies?
If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, please inform us in advance. Many of our tastings feature natural ingredients like honey and herbs, and we’ll do our best to adjust where possible.
What do guests take home?

Is there parking available?
