Definitely worth visiting, quiet, peaceful and historically impressive. An unexpected treat that ended our very busy day of touring the region. I was unaware that there was such well preserved Roman in northern Cyprus. Numerous marble columns in great shape, marble tile mosaic floors. A couple of hot bath tub areas with attached gymnasium. The latrine area was quite large and I was impressed by the running water technology that they employed to take the waste away so long ago. Definitely a must see if you're in the Salamis area!

Here you can see what was left from the in 7 century, when Arabs plundered the and island ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Fascinating Journey Through History Salamis is one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Northern Cyprus. The scale and preservation of the structures—especially the Roman theatre, gymnasium, and bath complexes—are truly breathtaking. Walking through the feels like stepping back in time. The is quite large, so give yourself at least 2–3 hours to explore comfortably. There are helpful signs throughout, and you can even spot some stunning mosaics still intact after centuries. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes, water, and sun protection—there's limited shade, and much of the terrain is uneven. Early morning or late afternoon is the best time to visit, especially in the summer months. Highly recommended for lovers, photographers, or anyone wanting to experience a piece of the world. A must-see if you're in or near Famagusta! Absolutely amazing, to wander around amidst such It is very interesting and educational to wander around here. Almost nothing is fenced off, everything is accessible - you can really enjoy the view of architecture, but not modern constructions.

Salamis, once one of the most important cities of Cyprus, offers a fascinating glimpse into the island's rich history. What truly makes this special is the first section of the archaeological heritage. This area is well-preserved and features impressive structures such as the large gymnasium, the theater, and the bathhouses. The theater of Salamis, which once held thousands of spectators, is one of the most striking buildings and gives you a clear sense of the grandeur of the city. The bathhouses, with their beautiful mosaics, showcase the artistic skills and refined lifestyle of the inhabitants of Salamis. The second section of the site, however, is less impressive. Large parts of this area consist mainly of that appear more like overgrown remnants of structures. This part of the is quite a walk, especially in the hot summer months, and can be challenging to reach. Although this section is less well-preserved, it adds to the mystique of Salamis and the feeling of discovering an ancient, lost city. The signage on the is adequate, though it might be helpful to indicate how long it takes to reach certain areas. This would assist visitors in planning their better, especially if they intend to explore the second, more distant section. A major plus is that entry for children is free, making this historical even more attractive for families. The entrance fee for adults is also reasonable, considering the site's size and historical significance. A key tip for visitors: be sure to bring plenty of water, as the is extensive and the sun can be relentless. Do keep in mind that the is not ideal for those with limited mobility, due to the rough terrain and lack of accessible pathways. All in all, the archaeological of Salamis is a must-see for anyone interested in the of Cyprus. It is a unique place where you can walk through ruins, with the sound of the sea in the background, and get a sense of the rich past of this beautiful island. 25.11.24. Great place, huge city, we liked a lot. It was windy outside and we decided not to continue with long circle, and we did only short one. However, it was very informative. I hope they will develop an audioguide app or link in different languages soon, it would help the tourists for sure. Information boards were not enough. For long circle it came to my mind a suggestion to organize a bicycle rental on the place. p.s. No public transportation from Famagusta to Salamis. It's 20 min drive. Taxi is from 500 lira one way (at sea gate of Famagusta) or 1500 lira 2way, if the taxi waits for you 1-1.5 h on the place. So, we used hitchhiking option.)) Well worth a visit. The long walk takes about 1 hour, so if it is very hot, may not be worth it. The are very accessible, not like the UK all behind ropes. Entrance 50 TL (£1.00) each with spectacular amphitheatre and surrounding areas. Many of the more distant parts are unfortunately sadly neglected. However well worth a visit, not much shade so if you do come it's best to avoid the early afternoon heat. Salamis is located on the east coast of Cyprus. It is one of the Kingdoms which was built on the 11BC.Due to Arab raides and eartthquakes it was demolished. It was rebuilt again during the time of Constantin. Ofcourse earthquakes and Arab raides continued and people had to leave the place on 7AD. The place is amazing and one must spend some time here to learn about its history. If you have not been there yet let me be your tour guide and take you there. Salamis is located in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus so if you’re traveling from Cyprus you will need your passport as you will be going through immigration check points. This archeological sites is quite interesting as there are enough remains to imagine what it might be like to live there about 2000 years ago. The temple and amphitheater are the best places to visit. If you’re a bible believer then you’ll know that Salamis was where Paul and Barnabas went on their first missionary journey. From this if you want you can also travel to Barnabas supposedly burial which is now a little church. It’s just a few miles away. There is a restaurant with beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea just before entering the site. If you enjoy and archaeology you will enjoy visiting this site. Y'all should look for where the entrance is to these tunnels and have some fun exploring. Some source says they were part of the hypocaust warming system that was used by the Romans. Look that stuff up before you get there. It can be quite boring to be at a historical looking at things you have not the slightest explanation what they mean. 👋🏿 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
