As you might guess from the name, at "Mastiha" you will find everything that can be made with the addition of mastic tree resin, and even a little more.
On the Greek island of Chios, the healing resin of mastic trees has been collected since ancient times, and it is called mastic or the tears of Chios. The golden transparent pieces of resin have wound-healing properties and a strong aroma. In folk medicine they are used to treat gum diseases and for mouth rinses, and in cooking they are used to flavor sweets. Mastic is also used to make cosmetics, liqueurs, and even a natural paint that imitates gilding.
In the Mastiha shop you can buy unusual souvenirs: chocolate, toffee, chewing gum, halva, Turkish delight, wafer cakes, and countless other delicacies with mastic, as well as medicines and drinks made according to traditional Mediterranean recipes. Scented candles, soap, healing toothpaste, creams and lotions, engravings, and tin trays can make excellent souvenirs.
Environmentally friendly, natural, traditional, known for centuries and at the same time exotic, mastic and products made with it will help you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the non-touristy Mediterranean and get unforgettable impressions from contact with folk culture.
