Why seychelles is a favourite tourist destination?

Seychelles Islands are a paradisiacal corner of the Indian Ocean where you can disconnect your watch, forget your worries and dive. There are many tourists who have already enjoyed this paradise, and you?

The Seychelles islands are not only an obligatory destination for lovers of scuba diving, but also for dry lovers, who find here an absolutely romantic setting. For this reason, this distant paradise is one of the favourite tourist destinations of newlyweds. The archipelago is to such an extent the kingdom of love that coconut de mer grows here, an autochthonous species whose seeds are attributed aphrodisiac effects.

The Republic of Seychelles, located next to Madagascar, is formed by an archipelago of 155 islands, some of the granite origin and others formed by spectacular coral reefs. There is no doubt that Seychelles Islands is a piece of paradise dotted by the Indian Ocean, with a formidable sea and land landscape. Almost half of its territory has been declared a national park. In Praslin, perhaps the island of greatest fame for its beauty, and known as "the pearl of the Indian Ocean", extend almost 40 square kilometres of intact nature. But also the small towns are charming. Victoria, its tiny capital on the island of Mahé, is made up of a handful of colonial houses and a colourful food market.

To the charms of this remote scenario of the perfect postcard, of fine white sand, almost dust, turquoise and serene waters, fantastic autochthonous species, like the giant tortoise, we must add its splendid gastronomy. Tropical fruits, fresh fish, poultry and meats are the delicacies of an exotic and fusion food, a mixture of French, Indian and Creole cultures, which have left their mark on the islands and in their kitchens. Octopus with coconut milk, bat fed curried fruit, scallop with garlic butter ... are some of the most extravagant dishes that are accompanied by delicious natural juices of mango, papaya or passion fruit.

The lover, the hedonist, the lover of nature or the one who gathers all these characteristics at the same time has several alternatives to know the secrets of the ocean and its gigantic inhabitant. The cruise through the islands is, perhaps, the most requested option, but it is also possible to stay in a luxurious hotel or bungalow and practice water sports, discover the exceptional fauna and tropical flora, its granitic rocks sculpted by the wind, dive not only in its waters, but also in its colonial past and take a daiquiri at the seashore with the rows of coconut trees as a backdrop.
