Salamis is the nearest island to Athens in the Saronic Gulf and the largest of the saronic island cluster .
It is located in the north of the Saronic Gulf and it is separated from the coast of Attica by the Strait of Pahi in the northwest the close of Piraeus to the east. To the north of Salamis lies the Bay of Eleusis.
Salamis is the island of the famous greek naval battle that took place in 480 BC in the island straits between the fleets of the Athenians and the Persians.
It is an island with lush greenery and picturesque harbors. Those guests wishing to swim should be directed to the southern part of the island where the water is very clear and expecialy to the beaches Selinia, Kaki Vigla, Kanakia, Peristeria Gyala and Satirli.
In the villages of the island we find examples of folk architecture. The island's capital, Salamis is a modern city which is not missing however the traditional neighborhoods. In Ambelakia you can find the Acropolis of ancient Salamis and in Peristeria the cave of Euripides, which are worth visiting.
You will find hotels and apartments that offer guests all the amenities. While there is not lacking in nightlife.
There is a frequent ferry connection between Perama -Paloukia and Pachi Megaron-Faneromeni and also a more scarce connection by small boats from Piraeus.
If you do not have a car there are 2 ways to approach the Area of the Cache.
A) By train or bus to Piraeus. There from the Gate E7 take small boat «BOB Sfouggarakis” to Selinia There are from 2-10 daily routes.
B) By bus lines B18 and C18 from Omonia Square to Perama . From Perama take the Ferry or boat to Paloukia (there is a connection every 15 minutes and the journey takes 15 minutes).
Selinia is located 7 kilometers away from Paloukia , and there is a bus service to get you there approximately every hour.
If you come by your own car you should only use option B since the boat from Piraeus its not a ferry and it takes no cars.
The cache is a Tupperware hidden in the rocky part of the coast of the Selinia .
The rocks are frequented by swimmers who want to avoid the crowdy main beach in the summer and from fishermen who consider those rocks a very good fishing spot. Therefore pls beware of mangles.
