... Beautiful view of an ancient city, a wonder of Cypriot history... known for its impressive archaeological remains dating back to the Bronze Age and Roman periods... nestled in the heart of Northern Cyprus the Salamis Ruins, with their ancient streets, well-preserved gymnasium, theater, and other Roman structures promise a unique blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty, making it an unforgettable destination for travelers... visiting this site is like stepping through a portal into a bygone era, where the grandeur of ancient civilizations comes alive against the stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean... to this day, many parts of the city are still buried, just waiting to be discovered during excavations... so what you see today is only a small part of what Salamis still has to offer... Big Thanks Michael for this lovely surprise!(✿◠‿◠) It's always so nice to read that people follow my blog and even make time to send me a postcard from their holiday!☺️

Salamis was believed to have been the capital of Cyprus as far back as 1100 BC, in the late Bronze Age. A large city located on the eastern side of the island north of Famagusta, it survived successive occupations by many dominant groups over the course of its history, including Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians and Romans, but eventually succumbed to the forces of nature.
According to the myth, Salamis was founded by Teukros only a short time after the destruction of the Greek city of Troy. There he built a temple dedicated to Zeus, the Greek father of the gods. The name of the city Salamis comes from the home of Teukros. This is the Greek island in the Aegean Sea, which also goes by the name of Salamis.
