An underwater ruin that could be the remains of a public building situated near the port of Salamis in antiquity - possibly one seen and mentioned by the traveler and geographer Pausanias in the 2nd century AD - is gradually emerging following an archaeological investigation of Ambelakia bay near the Greek island.

Further evidence of the spread of Hellenic culture has been found in the form of a 1,500-year-old mosaic floor with a Greek inscription uncovered during works to install communications cables in Jerusalem’s Old City.
