Honey contains anti-bacterial, antiviral and antifungal substances and has also been used for centuries as a treatment for sore throats and coughs, minor burns, cuts and other bacterial infections. The honey from Greece is considered to be one of the finest on a global scale due to the unlimited summer sun, the biodiversity of the Greek countryside plus the rich variety of Greek flora, which includes over 850 species found nowhere else in the world.
