Salamina, Ática Greece

Salamis, Attica's largest island with a long history, is so close to Athens' main port city, Piraeus, that it could be considered one of its neighborhoods. Just a nautical mile and a fifteen-minute ferry ride from the port of Perama, this pine-filled coastal community boasts a unique past, beautiful beaches, ancient monuments, museums, churches, monasteries, and archaeological sites. Its proximity to Athens makes Salamis (called Salamis 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 taken by Poseidon, the god of the sea, to live on the island. Salamis is where the mythical ruler Ajax lived and which the prolific playwright Euripides called home. While touring the island, consider visiting some of these sites: -The Monastery of Agios Nikolaos Lemonion -The cave of Euripides -The Stone Lighthouse -The Tomb of the Salamis Fighters -The Kingdom of Ajax
