Aristonautae or Aristonautai ( Ancient Greek: Ἀριστοναῦται) was a town of ancient Achaea, serving as 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]
