The Seychelles

 

One thousand miles away from anywhere - and one thousand years out of time - 115 dream islands scattered in the Indian Ocean. The beauty of the Seychelles is breathtaking. The granitic cliffs of Mahé, the tropical forests of Mahé and Praslin, the beaches of all these islands as well as the sea beds cannot leave the tourist indifferent.

The Seychelles have become easy to reach from Europe and they offer the sun and solitude for a while. Mystery, calm turquoise waters, desert beaches, immeasurable peace, friendly population, tropical paradise, transparent lagoon... a dream comes true.

Victoria, the capital of this independent state since June 28th 1976 has 25000 inhabitants i.e more than the two-third of the population.

When you walk slowly in the streets of Victoria, you relive the story of the archipelago, realizing the efforts made to put this micro-state up to the level of modern nations.
