-The [[Greece|Greek]] island of '''Salamis''' ([[Greek language|Greek]], Modern: Σαλαμίνα ''Salamina'', Ancient/[[Katharevousa]]: Σαλαμίς ) - also known as Koulouri - is the largest island in the [[Saronic Gulf]], about 1 nautical mile (2 km) off-coast from [[Piraeus]]. ''[[Paloukia]]'' is the main port, in size second only to Piraeus in Greece. The name Salamis is probably derived from ''Salam'' (''chalam''), meaning calm or peace, under which it was mentioned in [[Homer]]'s writings.  It also could have been named after [[Cychreus]]'s mother (Cychreus was the first king of the island).

 Salamis island is known for the [[Battle of Salamis]], and is said to be the birthplace of [[Ajax the great]] and [[Euripides]], the latter's birth being popularly placed on the day the island's famous battle was won.
-In modern times, it is home to a Greek naval base which serves as headquarters for the Greek navy.  The harbor was bombed by the German Luftwaffe in 1941, sinking the ''Kilkis'' (formerly the USS Idaho (BB-24)) and the ''Lemnos'' (formerly USS Mississippi (BB-23)).

-'''Salamis''' or '''Salamina''' is also a municipality on the island.
+Salamis is the most densely populated island in Greece. Up until [[2010]], it was divided into two municipalities: Salamina and Ambelaki. Under the Callicrates plan, they were merged into the Salamina municipality.
