Seychelles
Seychelles, an island country in the Indian Ocean, is located north-east of Madagascar and east of the African continent. The capital city of the country, Victoria, which consists of many islands large and small, is located on the island of Mahe, the largest island where the airport is also located.
There are regular flights from our country to this natural wonder and it is especially popular with European tourists. Especially in the winter season, there is an increase in preferences due to the weather conditions (sunny and rain-free environment).
As you descend from the plane to this place, the view you will see will give you unforgettable moments. The large and small islands on the turquoise sea will drag you to completely different lands. These islands and islets that you will see during the descent of the plane; It is possible to reach these islands and islets for various activities (shark diving, fishing, etc.) with various tours via speedboats and catamarans. After descending with beautiful scenery, you will be welcomed by a very modest airport. Due to the high mountain range during landing, special descent procedures and authorization are required. For this reason, pilots designated by airline companies can take off and land here after receiving appropriate training.
Transactions can be completed very quickly in the modest terminal. No visa is required for Turkish citizens to enter the country, and if you fill out the application online, you can find yourself outside the airport without any problems and in a very short time. If you do not have a transfer plan beforehand, you have no choice but to take a taxi to your accommodation. Rental car options are limited and public transportation is not available.
The city center where the airport is located is extremely small and limited to a few shopping stores and restaurants. Since there is not much to see in the city center, tourists who come here are in a hurry to go to the hotels and beaches spread over the island. Since the roads used to reach these places on the island are very winding and extremely narrow, it can sometimes take around 1 hour to reach the hotels where you will stay.
Not all of the hotels on the island have a beach. For this reason, you should pay attention to this issue when choosing the hotel you will stay in. Since some hotels do not have the opportunity to swim in the sea, daily transfers to other hotels may be required. If this is not the case, you can change your clothes after the trip and throw yourself on the beach. Here you can spend extremely pleasant moments in isolation from the world.
On the sun loungers that you can use free of charge on the beaches, you can watch the endless wonderful colored sea accompanied by bird sounds. You can easily see every shade of green here. Because there is the opportunity to sunbathe in the shade of many very majestic trees on the beach. My advice to you is to pay attention to the time you stay in the sun. Because it is in the equatorial belt, the sun here is quite effective compared to other places, and if you do not pay attention to your body, it may cause unwanted discomfort.
The color of the sea has extremely clear features. Even with the naked eye, you can easily see the fish while walking in the sea. The only feature to be aware of is that the sea suddenly deepens. Even after 2 meters from the beach, a sea that exceeds your height awaits you. There is no lifeguard service on the approximately 2 km long beaches. For this reason, this issue is important for travels with young children, and the pools of the hotels on the beaches can be used for this purpose.
Restaurants serving international cuisine serve people along the long beaches. Although Indian cuisine attracts attention, there are other opportunities to suit your taste. The hotels where you will stay offer a wide range of services in this direction. Most of the hotels even offer special discounts to their guests and continue their activities in competition with other restaurants. If you can follow the "happy hour" events, you can have the opportunity to experience food and drinks at very affordable prices.
While sunbathing on the beach, local hawkers can prepare coconuts for a fee (about 5 dollars) and offer you the opportunity to drink and then eat. You can add these to the unique photos you can use on social media, which has been especially popular recently.
Indeed, the opportunity to photograph unforgettable moments here is quite wide and extremely enjoyable. When you look at the frames you take on your return, perhaps you will want to come back here again. When you pay attention to your surroundings, you will see many newlyweds or couples over a certain age. You will notice that there are very few middle-aged people with children.
Especially at sunset time, the view of the beach gives people a completely different pleasure. This unique view that nature offers to us humans offers extremely pleasant moments with the sounds of birds. Lying on the beach and reading a book, listening to music or just watching these moments gives you peace of mind and takes away the troubles in your head.
The approach of the local people to the guests is extremely humble and helpful. Clothes made of Sile cloth are offered for sale at slightly high prices and bargaining is strictly prohibited. Peddlers, which are closed at noon, open their stalls in the evening and wait for their customers. The prices you pay for eating and drinking will not be cheap here. On average, you can pay 15 dollars for a pizza and 5 dollars for a coke. Although it changes periodically in hotels, you may encounter prices around 100-150 Euros on average.
Despite all this, I really think this is one of the places that people should see for a lifetime. It is a natural wonder that you will never regret when you return home and you will talk or watch the moments you have lived over and over again.
I wish you a pleasant trip.
