UPDATE 15/10/19: The island of Salamis has got its Pokémon back.
In a delighted post to the SilphRoad Pokémon reddit, island resident “Giannhsblazer” shared the good news:
“Last night a member of our community opened Pokémon Go and came across a huge surprise. After seven months of no spawns, the whole Saronic Gulf, including islands Salamina, Aegina, Agkistri and Poros, is once again full of them. Our combined efforts, gave us a great victory, and from last night, we are once again able to go out and hunt!
“This is a very important and emotional change of tides for us, since we can enjoy this lovely game without having to rely only on bosses or having to travel far from home, in order to find something to catch.
