much related to plants and in the case of Kalymnos, it counts on a wide variety of aromatic herbs, such as thyme, sage and oregano –a remarkable fact, especially if we take into account that the terrain is mainly mountainous and barren. The beekeepers in the area take advantage of this particularity and put their clouds of bees to browse in these herbs, so the result is a red-gold honey that combines the essences of these aromas to a particular sweetness.
Taking this into account, it is no wonder why the production of honey used to be one of the main economical activities on the island, along with sponge-selling. However, during the recent years, tourism has become the main industry. However, in spite of this reducing production, the reputation of the Kalymnian honey remains intact; visitors cannot leave the island without tasting its special delicious flavour.
