Walking through the dappled light of Greek pine forests, it’s not uncommon to stumble across these nondescript wooden cases. Whether singly-placed or in clusters, the boxes are an oddly compelling sight, reminiscent of Stage Coach cases, or something found hidden in the back corner of the attic. Treasure or terror inside, one wonders? The answer is, perhaps both. Bee Boxes, or moveable bee-hives as they are known, have been used for centuries to facilitate commercial honey production.
Tsipouro is produced using a lower degree of distillation which allows it to retain its distinct aromas of pomace. Thassos has some local varieties that produce flavored tsipouro with anise.
Olive harvesting is a big part of Thasso’s local life. During the winter months of November and December the majority of the locals is working on their olive fields.
