But maybe its a place with history. Actually you need lot if imagination. Come here, if you pass by. Otherwise its not worth the way. Go if you are a history buff, but there is not so much to see there. It is said that Aristotle have taught the boy Alexander the Great between 343 and 340 BCE in this place. Mieza was named for Mieza, in ancient Macedonian mythology, the daughter of Beres and sister of Olganos and Beroia. It was the home of Alexander's companion Peucestas. Aristotle was hired by Alexander's father, Philip II of Macedon, to teach his son, and was given the Temple of the Nymphs as a classroom. In return, Philip re-built and freed the citizens of Stagira, Aristotle's hometown, which he had razed in a previous conquest across Greece and Macedon. Spectacular beautiful nature around the cave - place in which Aristotle teached Alexander the Great at the age of 13 to 17 and others who many of them became his future generals .. Nearby Naoussa there is also the cultural center of the area. This is where Aristotle taught Alexander the Great for 2 years. Aura of brilliance all around. Peaceful and beautiful. Nothing much to see but it is a intact nymphaum that leaves your imagination to do the work. There are more treasures there to be utilized by the municipality and until then we wait! At the reception/bar building a guard can explain how to get to two amazing Macedonian tombs, often overlooked, in the same area, 10 min. drive, which I share in the photos Figgaro the cat was my guide This should be a highlight of any trip to Naousa or Makedonia . The school of Aristotle , the early life if Alexander the Great . It is neglected and not promoted. I had never heard of it . Glad to have discovered it . We also visited the Ancient theater of Mieza nearby. We tried to visit the Macedonian tombs nearby but they were closed. The area is a vast archeological site full of Greek Antiquities. Reading Aristotle's "On the Soul" while seating there, is the ultimate experience. Not crowded at all, the perfect place to be anytime. Being there, where Aristotle taught Alexander the Great.
