Seychelles, sea shells on the sea shore
Thousands of miles from anywhere, in the vast Indian Ocean, lies a tiny archipelago called the Seychelles. Seychelles holidays offer palm-fringed beaches plus loads of wilderness teeming with wildlife making it a great place to get away from it all. The capital, Victoria, is one of the smallest capital cities in the world, and the only town in the country. And the islands are fascinating... Rumour has it that pirate treasure is still buried in the hills on Silhouette Island. And on Round Island, once a leper colony, you can tuck in to scrumptious Creole food.
