Çam Balı

Marmaris is covered with pine forests. They are much loved by the local people for creating great vistas, giving shade and for their part in the production of the famous local honey! Pine honey is produced by honey bees that collect honeydew from a certain species that lives on some pine tree species. Pine honey is mostly produced in South Aegean, in Muğla, Marmaris, Aydın and Kuşadası and their close environs. It is also produced in Çanakkale and in particular parts of Mount Ida. The main reason for this fact is that the particular species secreting the honeydew can only live in these regions.
