Paloukia Port is the beating heart of Salamina — the largest natural port in Greece and one of the busiest ferry hubs in the country. At first glance, it’s all movement: ferries docking and departing every few minutes, fishing boats unloading their catch, and locals weaving through the crowd. But beyond the hustle, there’s something magnetic about its atmosphere. Stand by the waterfront and watch the choreography of ships and people — it’s like a living postcard. For many, this is the first taste of Salamina, and it sets the tone with its mix of energy, authenticity, and salty sea breeze. Around the port, you’ll find traditional tavernas serving fresh seafood straight from the boats, little cafés where time seems to slow, and local shops selling everything from snacks to souvenirs. It’s also a photographer’s dream — sunrise and sunset here bathe the port in golden light, turning the water into shimmering liquid gold. Paloukia isn’t just a gateway; it’s an experience in itself.
