What an amazing place. I did not think that it would be on such a large scale. When you are used to curated sites such as exist in Europe it was quite a shock to have such free access (which might not be such a good idea for the ruins themselves) and such a lack of information and signage. If I were coming again I would print off a map and bring it as otherwise you are a bit hampered if you come without a guide as we did.

The ancient city of Salamis is a wonderful structure due to its location. Many buildings such as the temple of Zeus, the amphitheatre, and the gymnasium, built by the sea, have still survived to this day. You may experience some difficulties in transportation. You should check the minibus schedules. Unfortunately, there is no direct transportation to the ancient city. You have to come by the pier minibuses, get off at the main road and walk for 20 minutes or take a taxi. but definitely worth a visit. I was here for a great event such as theatre Festival 🙂

A lovely old school hotel. We spent the day, on a day pass, staff very friendly and welcoming and food was very good. Except for a bite of a pickle tasted off which made question the freshness.

Such a great place to visit, definitely recommend! There’s a short route and a long route (attach pic with map), my family and I went for the long route. Do bring a hat and water if going fir the long one on a hot day. There is also a cafe near the exit where you can get some nice cool drinks/freshly squeezed orange and pomegranate juice post walk. Took us overall about an hour to do the long route. Theres clearly more of the city to be dug up and unearthed but still great to see whats there. Also if you happen to be going to Nicosia and go to the Cyprus Museum you can see more of the items they found there!
