Salamína
SALAMÍNA
is the quickest possible island-hop from Pireás, and indeed much of its
population commutes to the city to work. The island itself, however, is highly
developed, has few tourist facilities, and is close enough to the Athenian dockyards to
make swimming unappealing. The island's port is at
Paloúkia
, facing the mainland, just
a short hop across a narrow, built-up isthmus to
Salamína Town
on the west coast. Five
kilometres or so beyond Salamína Town,
Eándio
has the island's cleanest and most
attractive beaches. A similar distance from Salamína Town to the north, the
monastery
of Faneroméni
(daily 8.30am-12.30pm & 4pm-sunset) is a working nunnery with
impressive frescoes, beautifully sited amid pine woods overlooking the mainland.
