Greek archaeologists at Ancient Stagira, Central Macedonia, say they have found Aristotle’s tomb. Addressing the Aristotle 2400 Years World Congress, they point to the 2,400-year-old tomb as the most important finding from the 20-year excavation. The discovery of the tomb of Aristotle was announced by archaeologist Kostas Sismanidis, according to whom the findings from the 1996 excavation lead to the conclusion that the tomb belongs to Aristotle. Aristotle was born in Stagira in 384 BC and died in Chalcis, Evia, at 322 BC. The great philosopher was originally believed to have been buried at Chalcis, however, archaeologists are now certain that the tomb they have found belongs to Aristotle. Two literary sources indicate that the people of Stagira may have transferred his ashes to his birthplace

It's a very interesting place! Actually, I reviewed here Nea Potidea, because this village is a lovely place for a vacation. The see is clear, the sand is perfect and everything is so good! I was there in August 2016.

Nice place,hostorical on the verge of the beach...unique in Greece and the Mediterranean!!Where history meets fun and vise versa...The Sanctuary of Zeus Ammon is actually 3 different sanctuaries from different time periods, the sanctuary of Dionysus (Dionysos), the sanctuary of Zeus Ammon and the sanctuary of Asclepius. From the 4th c.BC is Kassandra’s main historical attraction...
