This is what sailors experienced:
This bay is a real charmer! It’s noticeably larger than its neighbor to the south (Ormos Doulapi) and boasts a friendly beach bar for a post-sail refreshment. Holding well at 7-8m in the sand opposite the beach, it’s a great spot to drop anchor.
This is what sailors experienced:
This anchorage offers excellent value for money! The holding is great on sand at 8m, and there’s a convenient dock for smaller boats, making it a great choice for a stop.
This is what sailors experienced:
This bay was a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure! A few Greek campers added to the friendly atmosphere, and the sand held perfectly. We spent a blissful night and morning swimming in the crystal clear blue water. It’s a bit exposed to the southwest wind, but it’s all part of the experience!
This is what sailors experienced:
We found a perfect spot here, well-protected and incredibly calm. Tavernas line the beach, and we anchored in 3m of sand between the church and the restaurants. The sand bottom held firm, making for a relaxing stay.

Salamis offers a haven for sailors with its well-equipped marinas and harbours. The main port of Paloukia, bustling with life, provides everything a sailor needs, from fuel and provisions to repairs and charming waterfront cafes. For those seeking a more tranquil retreat, the marina at Peramatos offers a peaceful sanctuary with stunning views and easy access to the island’s hidden treasures. Remember, though, that even in the most idyllic harbours, the whispers of ancient gods might still be heard on the wind.
