The main town of the island is Salamina or Koulouri, a modern small town in which uncontrolled construction has left no trace of the past. In the archeological museum of the city, objects are exhibited that have been excavated on the island, especially jewelry and vessels. Six kilometers northwest of the main town is the monastery Faneromeni with rich Byzantine design and a worth seeing representation of the "Last Judgment". Southeast of the city, near Ambelakia, there are a few remains of the acropolis of ancient Salamis, and the remnants of ancient buildings are found on the seabed. A little further south, the Battle of Salamis was fought in the Gulf of Ambelaki. 6 km southwest of the village Salamina lies Moulki, also called Alantio. This is beautifully located near a pine forest.
