History

The name Salamis is probably derived from Salam (shalam), Phoenician for peace,^[3] under which it was mentioned in Homer's writings. Phoenician was a language originally spoken in the coastal region then called Pūt in Ancient Egyptian Canaan in Phoenician, Hebrew, and Homer ( Ancient Greek:, Homēros) is a legendary ancient Greek epic Poet, traditionally said to be the author of the epic poems the Some sources, however, say it was named after the nymph Salamis, according to legend the mother of Cychreus, the first king of the island). In Greek mythology, a nymph is any member of a large class of mythological entities in human female form Salamis was a Nymph in Greek mythology, the daughter of the river god Asopus and Metope, daughter of the Ladon, another river god Cychreus, in Greek mythology, was the son of Poseidon and Salamis, daughter of the river god Asopus. ^[4]

Salamis was probably first colonised by Aegina and later occupied by Megara, but became an Athenian possession in the time of Solon or Peisistratos, following the war between Athens and Megara around 600 BC. Aegina ( Greek: Αίγινα ( Egina) is one of the Saronic Islands of Greece in the Saronic Gulf, 17 miles (30 km from Megara ( Greek:, "Big Houses" is an ancient city (pop Athens (ˈæθənz Αθήνα Athina,) the Capital and largest city of Greece, dominates the Attica periphery as one of the world's Solon ( ancient Greek:, c 638 BC&ndash558 BC was an Athenian Statesman, Lawmaker and Lyric poet.

Salamis 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 ( Ancient Greek:) was a decisive naval battle between the Greek City-states and Persia in September 480 BC in the Greece (Ελλάδα transliterated: Elláda, historically, Ellás,) officially the Hellenic Republic (Ελληνική Δημοκρατία Themistocles ( Greek:; c 524&ndash459 BC was an Athenian soldier and statesman The Persian Empire was a series of Iranian empires that ruled over the Iranian plateau, the original Persian homeland and beyond in Western Asia Events By place Greece May — King Xerxes I of Persia marches from Sardis and onto Thrace It is said to be the birthplace of Ajax and Euripides, the latter's birth being popularly placed on the day of the battle.

In the 1960s and 1970s, during the military junta period, changes in land legislation allowed the subdivision of land plots.

The lack of corresponding investment in infrastructure, combined with heavy industry, has led to sea and beach pollution on this side of the island. Public works are the construction or engineering projects carried out by the State on behalf of the Community. There are, however, ongoing initiatives such as help from the European Union’s Cohesion Fund toward improving sewerage by 2008. The European Union ( EU) is a political and economic union of twenty-seven member states, located primarily in Structural Funds and Cohesion Funds are funds allocated by the European Union for two related purposes support for the poorer regions of Europe and support for integrating European ^[9]

Geography and administration

Salamis has an area of 36 square miles; its highest point is Mavrovouni (1325 feet). As of the mid-20th century, the majority of the inhabitants were Arvanite. According to Strabo, the ancient capital was at the south of the island;, and in classical times it was to the east, on the Kamatero Peninsula overlooking the Strait of Salamis; in modern times it is on the west. Strabo ( Greek: Στράβων 63/64 BC – ca AD 24 was a Greek historian, geographer and philosopher. ^[10]

A significant part of Salamis Island is rocky and mountainous. On the southern part of the island a pine forest is located, which is unusual for western Attica. Unfortunately, this forest is often a target for fires. ^[9] While the inland inhabitants are mainly employed within the agricultural sector, the majority of Salamis' inhabitants work in maritime occupations (fishing, ferries, and the island's shipyards) or commute to work in Athens. ^[2][11] The maritime industry is focused on the north-east coast of the island at the port of Paloukia (Παλούκια), where ferries to mainland Greece are based, and in the dockyards of Ampelakia and the north side of the Kynosoura (Greek: Κυνοσούρα = "dog tail") peninsula.

Salamis Island is very popular for holiday and weekend visits from the Athens and Piraeus area; its population rises to 300,000 in peak season of which ca. 31,000 are permanent inhabitants. ^[9] This supports a strong service industry sector, with many cafes, bars, ouzeries, tavernas and consumer goods shops throughout the island. Ouzo (ούζο is an Anise -flavored Liqueur that is widely consumed in Greece. Taverna refers to a small Restaurant serving Greek cuisine, not to be confused with " Tavern " On the south of the island, away from the port, there are a number of less developed areas with good swimming beaches including those of Aianteio, Maroudi, Perani, Peristeria, Kolones, Saterli, Selenia and Kanakia. ^[12]
