Itinerary
Our meeting point is in a small traditional beekeeping unit just outside Nafplio. We meet our local English
speaking beekeeper who introduces us to the magical world of bees and beekeeping.
After a small theoretical briefing we wear the necessary protective uniforms
and we hike in the natural environment of bees, where our lungs fill up with
spectacular smells from the surroundings flowers
The beekeeper introduces us to the art of
beekeeping and bees’ society. He shows us the queen of the beehive and how the
worker bees follow its orders while the drones (male bees) “do nothing”. We see
how the bees collect pollen form flowers and convert it to fresh honey, storing
it inside the beehive.
After this unique experience we taste delicious varieties of honey and Greek traditional
sweets with pure Greek honey as the main ingredient.
Then we take the road back for our departure
point.
