| The Seychelles is a group of about 115 islands which lie 1600 km (990 miles) off the coast of east Africa. The three central islands are Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. They are all out of granite, while the outlying islands are coral atolls. Seychelles has all the natural attributes of a dreamlike and beautiful tropical paradise that is unique by a thousand miles. The success of the islands’ tourism industry thrives on crystal clear waters, coral reefs, rain forests, cultural diversity and exotic flora and fauna that includes the world’s most suggestive fruit, the coco de mer nut. |
