About
Salamina island
Salamina is the largest Greek island in the Saronic Gulf, about two kilometres (one nautical mile) off-coast from Piraeus and about 16 km west of the centrer of Athens. Salamis Island belongs to the Islands regional unit of the Attica region and it has a population of 31,776 habitants.
Salamina island is known for the Battle of Salamis, the decisive naval victory of the allied Greek fleet, led by Themistocles, over the Persian Empire in 480 BC. The Battle of Salamis is considered one of the most significant battles in human history. A Persian victory would’ve stopped the development of ancient Greece. In modern times, it is home to Salamis Naval Base, headquarters for the Hellenic Navy.
The island’s beautiful beaches, stunning sunsets and cosmopolitan atmosphere attracts mostly Athenian people looking for an easy and affordable overnight trip near Athens, or for other visitors who would relish an alternative three-day adventure driving around its weather-beaten roads. As a fishing island, this is a place where someone has the opportunity to taste the best traditional recipes with 100% fresh fish food. High interest museums, ancient theatres and monasteries are also available if someone wishes to explore the Greek culture,

What Our Customers Are Saying about the marina
★★★★★
“Amazing place!Salamina is part of Athens, very close to Pireaus and easy accessible. The tickets for the ferry cost only 1€!Our departure and arrival with the boat was very easy, as the marina is not crowded. There are some excellent tavernas and the supermarket was just 8 minutes away from the boat “
★★★★★
“In the beginning we were just worried when we heard that Salamina is an island…but ok, this is Athens and it’s the best base to start a trip to the Saronic Gulf. Thanks to that place, we were first to reach the island of Agkistri early in the evening of Saturday, avoiding the crowds. Our “come and go” from the marina was also an easy job. The marina provides excellent services and it is quiet”
