Maroudi Promontory is a coastal landscape on the southern side of Salamis, the island in Greece’s Saronic Gulf. The local map name is broad; archaeological publications identify the nearby Mertzani headland at Maroudi as the location of an Early Helladic II settlement. This is not a developed archaeological park with a staffed ticket office, marked circuit or guaranteed public path to every foundation. Its significance comes from fieldwork that records prehistoric occupation at an exposed maritime position.
The French School at Athens’ archaeological chronicle reports work by the University of Ioannina at Maroudi and Mertzani. In the 2010 field season, researchers photographed and planned visible house foundations, documented six confirmed walls and collected representative Early Helladic pottery. Other Greek academic publications discuss the same headland as part of a network of early coastal settlements in the Saronic Gulf. These sources support the Bronze Age context, but they do not turn every stone in the landscape into a dated ruin.
