Municipality Of the Month
Salamina

The island easiest to reach

Salamis, Attica’s largest island with a long history, is so close to Athens’s main port town of Piraeus, that it could be considered of as one of its neighbourhoods. Just one nautical mile and a fifteen-minute ferry ride from Perama port, this pine-studded seaside community is graced with a unique past, beautiful beaches, ancient monuments, museums, churches, monasteries and archaeological sites. Its close proximity to Athens makes Salamis (called Salamina in Greek) an ideal destination for a day trip. Spend a little more time and discover its neoclassical architecture and interesting place in history. According to Greek mythology, Salamis was a nymph who was carried away by Poseidon, the god of the sea, to live on the island. Salamis is where the mythical ruler Ajax lived, and which prolific dramatist Euripides called home. The historically significant naval battle of Salamis took place, just off the island’s coast, with the Greek fleet defeating the invading Persians, in 480 B.C. Explore Salamis and discover one of the most easily accessible islands of the Saronic Gulf.
