Salamina

Salamina is the closest Greek island to Athens, only 2 kilometres off the Piraeus port — the 96-square-kilometre island that gave its name to the Battle of Salamis (480 BC), the naval battle in which an Athenian-led Greek fleet defeated the Persian invasion fleet of Xerxes I and saved Greek independence (one of the most-cited defining battles of Western civilisation). The narrow strait where the battle was fought sits between the island and the Attica mainland and is sailable in under an hour. Despite the proximity to Athens, Salamina is sparsely developed — most of the island is occupied by the Greek Navy's main mainland base (Salamis Naval Base, the largest in Greece). Visitors stay on the south coast around Kanakia and Peristeria beaches. Salamina is 30 minutes from Athens by sail. Season runs April through October.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
