Amazing site it is like time has stood still I half expected the ancient Greeks to appear in their togas,I wish I could have spent more time there, try to get there early in the morning it gets so hot, and yes take loads of water.

It may have been the heat, but my companion and I, after about an hour, my companion and I felt that we had exhausted the joys of Salamis. Some interesting pavements, a good theatre, and the wild flowers were lovely, but otherwise...............

You could wander through this ruin with no boundaries. There was so much to see! It can take hours to walk round!
If you are prepared to walk you will see a lot more than most. Enjoy a drink in the bar (just outside the enterance) when youve finished

The ruins are spectacular and the area is vast , there is lots to see you park outside and walk in take plenty of water.
Make a day of it as there...
