The Old Shipyards of Salamis are a fascinating link between past and present. These naval dockyards have been in use for centuries, serving both military and commercial purposes. Walking through the area, you’ll see a blend of weathered buildings, massive cranes, and ships in various stages of repair or construction. The air smells of salt, metal, and paint — a sensory reminder that this is a working part of the island, not just a tourist attraction. History buffs will appreciate that these shipyards played a role in Greece’s naval strength for generations, while photographers will love the industrial textures against the blue sea. It’s a reminder that Salamina is not just about beaches and cafes; it’s an island with a heartbeat, where people still work the sea as their ancestors did. If you’re lucky, you might even catch craftsmen at work, welding, hammering, or painting — a living connection to a centuries-old maritime tradition.
