Honey

A very popular product of Lesvos is bee honey from thyme flowers. At other points in Lesvos such as the pine forest at Kalloni, pine honey or forest flower honey is produced along with very rare varieties, such as chestnut honey and heather honey, myrtle honey with its exquisite taste and fragrance. These types of honey may be combined with seasonal fruits, locally made yogurt or as a spread over hot oven baked bread as a nutritious, light meal.
