Where is Salamis
Salamis in Greece typically refers to Salamis Island, which is an island in the Saronic Gulf, near the coast of Attica. It is one of the closest islands to Athens, the capital of Greece. The island is known for its historical significance, particularly the Battle of Salamis in 480 BCE, a crucial naval engagement between the Greek city-states, led by Themistocles of Athens, and the Persian Empire.
