Saronic Citadel
We had a lovely eight day stay at Saronic Citadel, which is a lovely home that has everything with amazing views.Our host Charis was beyond accommodating and helpful. We chose Salamina because of it’s beach atmosphere and close proximity to Athens.There are so many quaint little shops on the island and wonderful things to do. I recommend that you learn some Greek before you go because unlike Athens, not many people speak English, making communication a challenge. Charis was helpful with that as well, ordering pitses for us when needed. Sunday should NOT be a beach day as it is the most popular day for locals and parking/beach space is limited There are many local restaurants that have umbrellas and cabanas, making a day long stay at the beach enjoyable. There is also an inflatable water park at Lava that kids enjoy. The short ferry ride to Athens allowed us to see the Acropolis and Parthenon and there are too many lovely local markets and restaurants to name. Charis helped arrange an island tour of Salamina by boat and our captain Christos and first mate Mike took us to some wonderfully secluded places to snorkel and just enjoy the water. We also did a little fishing and our first mate dove for some conch, mussels and oysters which they prepared for us to eat on the boat. We ended our family vacation with a trip to Tattoo Master for family tattoos. Christos was AMAZING and fit us all in on a Sunday. My favorite greek souvenir is on my back 🙂. Highly recommend!
