Description
The lagoon and bay of Kalloni (Καλλονής) is a shallow, rich wetland that hosts a stupendous variety of aquatic and avian life, including flamingos, porpoises and seals.
It is especially renowned for its yield of sardine fishing.
Following his departure from Plato's Academy after being passed over for the school's headship, Aristotle spent a few years with his friend, Theophrastus, at the Kalloni lagoon, studying animal life: his observations there formed the material for the very first treatises ever written on the subject of biology, namely his books on the "history, parts, movement, progression, and generation" of animals.
