Dittany of Crete ...Alison and Graham moved to Crete from the UK five years ago and say "after living in Crete, we were happy to come across the endemic Dittany of Crete Origanum dictamnus right on our doorstep and wanted to learn more and more about this magical plant. Well, after a massive amount of research we've found out lots of interesting and fascinating information about this little pink coloured wild plant".

Wild Herbs of Crete ...Babis and Janina have been collecting and distilling herbs exclusively from wild populations in Crete since 1994, and produce essential oils, share their vast knowledge of "wildcrafting", they say "We chose to collect and distill exclusively aromatic plants which are wild growing".
