Ancient Olynthos

Ancient Olynthos

Excavation at the site of ancient Olynthos began in 1928 and revealed a settlement with over 100 houses with water and sewage systems. Between the sixth and third centuries BC the city was an important economic and military centre. Today you can see the house foundations, some mosaics and visit an exhibition centre.
