**Some of our favorite beaches in Salamina are:
- Batsi: located on the north side of the island, at the foot of a pine-covered mountain. It is sandy with crystal clear waters.
- Selenia: the beautiful sandy beach of the homonymous picturesque settlement in the eastern part of the island.Organized and quite quiet.
- Kanakia: accessible via a path through the forest, which is also suitable for cycling. One of the cleanest beaches of the island, overlooking Aegina. It is located in the southwestern part of Salamis.
- Psili Ammos: it is organized and has shallow waters that make it an ideal choice for families with children. It is located on the north side of the island.
At the island you will find important archaeological sites and monuments from prehistoric times to the Greek Revolution.

Nightlife in Salamis is generally lively. On the island you will find several beach cafes to enjoy your coffee or drink next to the sea. In addition, you will drink ouzo with grilled seafood in the taverns and taverns of the city of Salamina, but also in Selenia, Aianteio and Kaki Vigla.

Getting Around:
The easiest way to reach Salamina at any time of the day is from the port of Perama in the Piraeus area. The route Perama - Salamina (Paloukia) runs 24/7 with departures every quarter, twenty minutes or half an hour. The boat trip takes just 15 minutes.
Within the city of Salamina it is quite easy to move around on foot as the distances are short. To move from one area of the island to another, you can use a taxi or bring your own vehicle to discover all its hidden corners.
An interesting alternative for your movement is a bicycle, which you can also use on the paths of the island, e.g. the green path Kanakia - Monastery of Agios Nikolaos.
