About
Sigri Honey is a small honey farm and local producer based in Sigri, a quiet fishing village on the westernmost tip of Lesvos. The farm offers visitors a taste of one of the island's most prized agricultural traditions — Lesbian honey, produced from bees that forage among the wild thyme, heather, pine, and aromatic herbs that blanket the Lesvos countryside. Honey from this part of the island carries a distinctive floral complexity shaped by the unspoiled landscape surrounding the Petrified Forest of Sigri.
Stopping at Sigri Honey is a chance to bring home something genuinely local — raw, unprocessed honey harvested close to where you buy it, with none of the anonymity of supermarket shelves. Whether you are looking for a pure thyme variety, a darker pine honey, or a wildflower blend, small producers like this one typically offer a range that reflects the shifting seasons and local flora. Buying directly from the farm also supports the village economy of Sigri, a community that has remained refreshingly untouched by mass tourism.
Before you go
What to expect
At this small producer you'll find jars of raw thyme, pine, and wildflower honey harvested by bees foraging among the aromatic scrubland that surrounds the Petrified Forest. The owner typically walks you through the differences between varieties, so the stop becomes more education than errand. You leave with something unmistakably tied to this remote, untouched corner of Lesvos.
Best time to visit
Late spring through early autumn; freshest stock is usually on hand from July onward, after the summer harvest.
How to get there
Sigri sits at the far western tip of the island, roughly an hour and a half's drive from Mytilene via the main road through Kalloni. The honey farm is within the village itself.
