If going to Melidoni it's well worth stopping
We drove here on the way to Reptisland and stopped to buy some honey. You could go around the small museum on your own which would take about 10 mins but we opted for a free tour and were treated to lots of information and detail on how honey is made. It was really interesting and we could see the lady was very knowledgeable. Then were able to taste some different types of honey produced there and we bought a gift and some honey for ourselves. Well worth a visit if passing.

Fantastic tour and delightful honey
We had such a nice visit to Apithano! Athena was the most welcoming host, taking us through the honey-making process, emphasizing the importance of bees in our ecosystem and sharing how they make their lovely honey while supporting the bee populations. We got to taste the honey at the end and it was gorgeous. We would have brought home more if we had more baggage space! We also had a very nice lunch at the cafe - honey on yogurt, toasted pittas and honey pastries. Highly recommend
