Nestled in the picturesque region of Ano Lousou, Kalavryton, the Souka family has been passionately crafting exquisite honey for over fifty years. The legacy began with grandfather Nikolaos, a nature enthusiast whose deep admiration for bees led him to establish his first apiaries on the enchanting slopes of Mount Helmos. This cherished love for beekeeping was passed down to his son, Giorgos, who officially founded "HELMOS BEEKEEPING."
Today, Giorgos's four children stand united, much like the harmonious bonds of a beehive, continuing this beloved family tradition. They take pride in producing an exceptional selection of 15 distinct honey varieties, including Thyme, Elatis, Elatis Vanilla, Pine, Oak, Chestnut, Eucalyptus, Carob, Pine, and Organic honey—all crafted with love and expertise.
Mount Helmos: A Botanical Paradise
The breathtaking Mount Helmos, located in the northern Peloponnese, boasts a rich tapestry of biodiversity, with over 1,500 plant species gracing its slopes. From majestic plane trees and black pines to oaks, willows, maples, and poplars, this region is a true botanical paradise, host to 14 unique ecosystems featuring rare endemic flora. Such an environment not only nurtures the natural beauty of the landscape but also creates the perfect conditions for thriving beekeeping. Here, the bees flourish amidst the abundant wildflowers and diverse vegetation, resulting in honey that is as rich in flavor as it is in heritage.
