Meloupolis: Honey and bee products in the heart of Heraklion

Tucked away in a narrow alley of Heraklion’s old market, Meloupolis is a true treasure trove of flavors and aromas. Here, you’ll find authentic Cretan thyme honey, unique bee-derived products, traditional Cretan treats, as well as herbs and spices that awaken the senses.

Beyond the exquisite thyme honey, you’ll have the chance to explore a variety of honeys from across Greece, including the rare Vanilla Fir honey from Mount Mainalo, which is harvested only once every five years. Other varieties include strawberry tree honey, oak honey, acacia, chestnut, and orange blossom honey.

Meloupolis also offers a rich selection of bee products such as pollen, propolis, royal jelly, beeswax creams, pure beeswax, and spreads.

In addition, you’ll find Cretan herbs like sage, malotira (Cretan mountain tea), dittany, kartaraki, thyme, and more, alongside a variety of spices and handmade soaps.

To complete your visit, discover handpicked Cretan traditional products, including artisanal pasta, rusks, and even healthy, salt- and sugar-free snacks for children.
