Loustari Traditional Cretan Products

Loustari is a shop specializing in traditional Cretan products, founded in 2016 in Ierapetra, Crete. Drawing on the island’s food, nature and heritage, the business offers a selection of products made in Greece, particularly in Crete, and makes many of them available through its online store.

Its range includes extra virgin olive oil, honey, herbs and Cretan spirits, alongside natural cosmetics and personal-care products for the face, body, hair, men and babies. Customers can also explore traditional crafts, including Cretan knives and olive-wood products. Featured items include Cretan dittany, thyme honey from the Lasithi region, and rakomelo made with Cretan tsikoudia, thyme honey from Sitia and wild herbs. The shop also sells its own extra virgin olive oil, produced mechanically and recognized with a silver award at the ATHENA International Olive Oil Competition in 2022.

Loustari presents these goods as a way to discover the flavors and traditions of Crete. It serves customers online and from its shop on I. Papageorgiou Street in Ierapetra.
