Historians will recognise the island as the site of the famous naval battle of 480 BC where the Athenian fleet was victorious against the invading Persians. Whilst the western side almost touches the mainland, the south eastern side is surprisingly tranquil and scenic with numerous bays and the welcoming fishing harbour of Selinia as our destination.
