font-size: 14pt;\">The most important event in the history of this small island was the Battle of Salamis (480 BC), a naval battle fought in the straits between the Greek and Persian fleets, ending in a devastating defeat for the Persians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
