History
The homeland of the philosopher Aristotle, Ancient Stageira, is only 500 meters away from Olympiada and it was founded by people from Andros around 655 BC. During the Olynthian War, Philip II destroyed Ancient Stageira and rebuilt it, after Aristotle’s intervention, who later became the teacher of his son, Alexander the Great. Aristotle died in 322 BC in Chalkida and his body was transported to Ancient Stageira, where he was buried with honours and he was declared “ikistis” (coloniser, founder of the city). An altar was built over his tomb and “Aristotelia”, a festival in honour of the philosopher was instituted, for which efforts are being made to revive it today.
Sights
The region of Olympiada has important sights of ancient Greek and religious tradition, as well as of rich natural beauty. Among the highlights are ancient Stageira, homeland of the philosopher Aristotle, the waterfalls of Varvara and the magnificent Aristotle Park. Ancient Akanthos and the Antiquities of Ouranoupolis stand out with their architecture, as well as the Neposi Castle and the Medieval Cemetery of Ierissos. Arnaia, one of the most beautiful villages in Greece, with its traditional stone houses and cobbled streets, is a jewel of mountainous Halkidiki.
