HistoryNestani was named after the ancient settlement Nestane, that was situated at the same place. Ancient Nestane was a village in the territory of the town Mantineia.[3] Philip II of Macedon was said to have made his camp there.[4] The ruined acropolis of Nestani and a spring named after Philip II can still be found near the present village.[5] The village of Tsipiana, which grew near the ancient ruins of Nestane, was renamed Nestani in 1927.[1] See also
