Salamis: the eastern centre of ancient Cyprus

We include Salamis as one of the island’s major ancient cities and a place where the history of the city-kingdoms continues into the Roman and early Christian periods.

Geometric period to Late Antiquity

The gymnasium, theatre, baths and basilicas make it possible to spend a substantial separate route here.

The site lies in the northern part of the island, so we check access rules in advance and approach it not only as a set of impressive ruins but also as part of the complex heritage of divided Cyprus.

At the site we focus on specific reference points: the gymnasium, theatre, Roman baths and ancient latrines.
