The Maritime Museum of Salamina celebrates the island’s proud naval history — both ancient and modern. Located near the harbor, it’s the kind of place that makes you appreciate just how deeply tied Salamina is to the sea. Inside, you’ll find meticulously crafted ship models, navigational instruments, paintings, and uniforms that span centuries. There are exhibits about the legendary Battle of Salamis, modern Greek naval operations, and the everyday life of sailors who called this island home. One highlight is the collection of personal diaries and letters from seamen, which provide intimate glimpses into voyages, storms, and family farewells. The museum’s design is immersive — you might walk through a reconstructed captain’s cabin or stand beside the helm of an old fishing boat. It’s perfect for maritime enthusiasts, but even casual visitors leave with a deeper appreciation for the island’s relationship with the sea. Outside, the waterfront offers a fitting backdrop to the museum’s stories.
