Discover the island of Salamis on a private day tour from Athens, travelling at your own pace with private transport and return ferry tickets included. Just a short journey from the mainland, Salamis offers a fascinating blend of ancient history, beautiful coastline and authentic Greek island life.
Begin by visiting the Ancient Port of Salamis, where the Greek fleet assembled before the legendary Battle of Salamis in 480 BC. As you explore the site, your guide will bring one of history's most significant naval battles to life, explaining how this victory helped shape the future of Ancient Greece and Western civilisation.
Continue to the peaceful Faneromeni Monastery, one of the island's most important religious landmarks, before stopping at the former home of celebrated Greek poet Angelos Sikelianos.
Next, visit the Tomb of the Salamis Fighters, overlooking the very waters where the historic battle unfolded. Take in the panoramic coastal views while learning about the brave warriors honoured at this remarkable monument.
Your journey also includes entry to the Archaeological Museum of Salamis, where you'll discover artefacts spanning thousands of years of the island's history, from prehistoric settlements to the classical era.
End your day with free time at Eantio Beach, where you can enjoy lunch at a local taverna (own expense), relax by the waterfront or take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea before your return to Athens.
Ideal for history lovers, couples, families and small groups, this private experience offers a relaxed and personalised way to discover one of Greece's most historically important islands.
