On the East coast of the peninsula of Halkidiki, middle Macedonia, in 655 BC, the small town of Stagira was founded by settlers from Andros, a Cycladic island. In 384 BC, in Stagira, Aristotle was born. The modern location

is a beach town just like countless others in Greece. A few meters above it, however, lie the ruins of Ancient Stagira, the very place where the man

who influenced 2000 years of human history was born and raised.
