Along with Ancient Kourion, Ancient Salamis is Cyprus' most important ancient-kingdom archaeological site, with a wealth of ruins to explore.

 The gymnasium and baths complex, with its fine statuary and grandly columned courtyard, is the main attraction, but further into the sprawling site are vast remnants of two basilicas, an agora, and a huge reservoir complex.

Nearly all the remains date from the city's Graeco-Roman and Byzantine eras, but Salamis' history stretches much further back.
