Temple of Athena Skiras on Salamis

sanctuary · 550 BC – 300 AD

This sanctuary, reported by Herodotus, is thought to have been located on the modern Cape Arapis in the northeast part of the island of Salamis, just north of the modern naval base. It is not to be confused with the Temple of Athena Skiras in Phaleron, reported by Pausanias.
