You can get Costakis honey on Amazon, or Attiki on ebay, with the postage it's not cheap - but I do treat myself now and again  ::)

and why not  :lol:

For a treat, I buy honey made by bees on my allotment site (not a lot of use to you, though, Chrissie!)  :D

I looked at those honeys, MoS. To be honest, I didn't think they were that expensive compared with the price of 'proper' UK honey.

Personally, Chrissie, I never buy own-brand honeys or the like. You can't be sure that it's honey made by bees collecting from flowers or, in the case of some honeys, honey made by bees from sugar.

Sounds like you've got a good source, Yorkie. You might be able to find someone selling local honey too, Chrissie.
