OLYMPIADA
 It is a village built in 1924-25 by refugees from Agia Kiriaki in Asia Minor. Because of ancient Stagira the area can be considered as the most important historical site of Chalkidiki. Stagira was the home town of the great philosopher Aristotle. It is located 1 kilometre to the east of  Olympiada on a peninsula called Liotomi. Tradition says that Olympiada was named after king Alexander+AJI-s mother, Olympiada, who was exiled by king Kassandros to the island of Kapros, opposite the village. Olympiada is built at the side of a natural harbour. It is surrounded by a lot of magnificent beaches, green mountains and forests. It is ideal for holidays all year, especially in spring and in summer. Archaeological excavations started at the area of ancient Stagira in 1990 and have been going on since then. A lot of Classical and Byzantine findings(walls-pots-coins etc.) are on show at an exhibition area of Olympiada.
