Where is Salmone in the Bible?
Salmone was a promontory, or rocky headland, located on the island of Crete in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It appears in the New Testament in Acts 27:7, where it is mentioned as a landmark during the Apostle Paul's maritime journey to Rome as a prisoner. When Paul's ship encountered difficult winds, it sailed past Salmone while traveling along the coast of Crete. This geographical reference is significant because it documents the actual route of Paul's final voyage to Rome, providing historical detail about first-century Mediterranean travel and navigation.
