Aristonautae

Aristonautae or Aristonautai (Ancient Greek: Ἀριστοναῦται) was a town of ancient Achaea, the harbour of Pellene, at a distance of 60 stadia from it, and 120 from Aegeira. It is said to have been so called from the Argonauts having landed there in the course of their voyage.[1]

Its site is located near the modern Xylokastro.[2][3]
