Salamina and its beauties
Salamina. The largest island of Saronicos that “travels” in its peaceful waters and is a stone’s throw from the port of Piraeus. An island so close to Athens and Piraeus, endowed with centuries of cultural heritage, natural beauty and important religious monuments. There, prominent personalities were born and raised not only in Antiquity, but also of the later years. Few know that it is the home of the great drama theatre poet Euripides. It became a place of hospitality for General Georgios Karaiskakis (Greek hero) in the Revolution of 1821, but also of residence, inspiration and creation for the special poet Angelos Sicilianos.
However, a point–a milestone in its history was the Battle of Salamina (480 BC), which largely judged the fate of the Persian Wars and the consiquences in Europe’s history. Thanks to the victory of the Greeks, Greek culture was preserved and spread in the West and around the world.
