Melissini Beekeeping Experience
If you enjoy discovering unique and local activities and losing yourself in the beauty of nature, you're in the right place!
Beekeeping is a genuine part of Greek tradition and rural life in Lefkada, a practice that is slowly fading as the years pass.
Our goal is to offer you the best side of greek hospitality, the one that nature provides on its own and simply guide you through this activity with respect for the bees and the environment they thrive in.
