Happy Traveller: Salamina

Happy Traveler travels to the largest island of Saronic, Salamina. Known worldwide for her naval combat and famous within her borders for her simplicity and beauty. Eutychis and Electra, before leaving for the island, go to see the throne of Xerxes above Perama. It was the location from where the Persian king watched the naval battle of Salamis in September 480 BC. By boat from Perama they arrive at Palukia, the main port of Salamina next to the naval station. They see the islet of Agios Georgios and Kamatero while then they will reach the hill where the ancient city of Salamis was located. Immediately after, they descend towards the ancient port and the monument of the Paiana of Salaminomachi as well as the impressive Tomb of Salaminomachi which dominates the spot where the largest part of the historical Naval Battle took place.
