The Seychelles

by iwys - last update: Dec 14, 2004

An Expensive Paradise

The Seychelles is a beautiful, tropical paradise, but it is also extremely expensive. A coco de mer, like this, will cost you $400.

The Islands

I visited the three main islands of the Seychelles: Mahe, Praslin and La Digue. They all have white, sandy beaches, fringed with coconut palm trees.

The Plantations

Prior to the development of tourism in the twentieth century, coconut plantations were the basis of the islands' economy. Today the old plantation owners' houses are some of the most interesting buildings on the Seychelles.
