In the beautiful mountainous village of Stagira, Aristotle, in a park overlooking the bay of Ierissos, is the “Aristotelous Alsos”. The grove that has been operating since 2003 and is the only theme park in Chalkidiki. It is worth visiting to see the interesting instruments and enjoy the wonderful view. The grove was pre-existed and the wonderful location was chosen in 1956 to host the imposing statue of Aristotle, the work of sculptor Nicholas, to honor the great philosopher who was born in Ancient Stagira.
The park is dedicated to the famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle and includes a series of interesting instruments which when used properly will show the phenomena of nature. These experimental instruments, operating by rules of physics are mentioned in Aristotle’s textbooks and especially in the one called “The Naturals”. The instruments include a prism, optical discs, sounding bars, a compass, sundial and pendulum – all illustrating important phenomena studied by the great philosopher.
