About Olympiada, Chalkidiki
The settlement of the Olympiada was created in 1923, in a location where there was a rough rural settlement with huts where few families lived. Here refugees from Agia Kyriaki of Asia Minor arrived after the uprooting of 1922, and the inhabitants of the rural settlement moved to today’s Stageira.
The area is of great historical significance as here are the Ancient Stageira . They are located in the eastern part of the settlement, at a distance of about 700 meters, at Liotopi. According to a local tradition, the village’s name comes from Olympiada, the mother of Alexander the Great. King Cassander had exiled it to Ancient Stageira, or, in others, to the nearby islet of Capra.It is opposite the Olympiad, at a distance of 1.5 nautical miles, and is called Caucasus. Capra is also mentioned by the ancient geographer Strabo. According to him, the same name was given to the port of the city of ancient Stagira.
The present village, built along a beautiful beach, lies on the edge of its natural harbor. It is surrounded by green mountains and enchanting beaches that attract numerous visitors every summer. At the celebration of the protector of Agia Kyriaki, cultural and artistic events are organized, as well as a workshop on the life and work of the great Aristotle, the Stougerite philosopher Aristotle.
