The name

“Ek Paktias” — a name that carries the echo of the old world, the aura of memory and the aura of myth. A name that was not chosen by chance; but was born from the deep need to honor the origin, to highlight the root, to hear again the language of the place and its spirit.

Paktia, as recorded in ancient references, was one of the first names of Paros – an island that, even before taking on the form and borders that we know, existed as an idea, as a geographical and spiritual concept. According to alternative versions, the same name is also found in distant places in the East – in the wider area between Persia and India – points from where journeys, colonies, civilizations began. This double reference – to the Aegean and the East – gives the name “Paktia” an almost mythical dimension: as if it unites primordial memories with places of light and poetry.

In the context of Paros, however, Paktia acquires a special symbolism: it is the archetypal name, the one that precedes the official identity, the geopolitical recognition. It is like a whisper of the land, surviving in the depths of the centuries, bringing with it the essence and spirit of the place before people named it.
“Ek Paktias” literally means “from Paktia” — that is, from Paros. But the phrase is much more than a statement of geographical origin. It is an existential statement. A greeting from the past to the present, a bridge between what was and what we choose to be today.

For Elisabeth and Angelos, the name “Ek Paktias” is not just the logo of their business. It is the sonic imprint of their philosophy. It is the declaration of a way of life based on the land, on observation, on the rhythm of nature and on the truth of things. It is the recognition that everything starts somewhere — from a root, from a place, from a deep love.

Their company does not simply produce honey or natural cosmetics. It produces narratives. Every product bearing the “Ek Paktias” signature is a carrier of history, a tasteful memory and cultural continuity. It is the result of the coexistence of ancient knowledge and modern research, of human care and the wisdom of the bee.

When someone holds a jar of honey or a cosmetic with this logo, they are not just holding a product. They are holding a small treasure. A distillate of place, time and soul. They are holding a piece of Paros — or perhaps, Paktia — where it all began and where, ultimately, everything returns.
