Island of surprises

by kyoub - last update: May 9, 2006

Mahe'

Grand Anse
Climb the mountains for panoramic views out over the Indian Ocean, sip tea at the tea factory, go bird watching, or just relax on one of the most beautiful islands,certainly the most remote, in the world.
Mahe has over 60 beautiful beaches and this is the reason that most tourists come here but there are many other things to see here.
Mahe is an island of surprise and discovery.
Town Center

Victoria

Mahe is the largest island in the Seychelles. It is 17 miles long and 5 miles across. It is home to the country's capital, Victoria.
Victoria is the only town and one of the world's smallest capital cities.
The town center is marked by a clock tower.
This clock is a replica of the clock tower on London's Vauxhall Bridge.
Deserted beach

Footprints

On most beaches the only footprints that you see, wil be your own.

 You managed to see quite a bit of beautiful Mahé during your time on the island! That rule about having pre-booked accoms is quite strange! I liked your 'flying fox' photo - it reminded me of seeing them hanging from trees in Papua New Guinea.
