This beach is one of the most beautiful beaches of Ikaria. Located in a picturesque and intimate cove, 20 km south-west of Agios Kirikos, this beach has bright pebbles and rocks, emerald waters and is surrounded by impressive rock formations, creating a wonderful setting. The access to the beach is possible via a path starting on the main road and descending along the river bed.

Seychelles is a destination I could recommend to anyone looking for a paradise escape.
We spent our trip on La Digue and Felicite Islands which turned out to be a great choice. La Digue is real heaven on Earth with its palm tree fields and the most beautiful beaches.
We decided to stay in a very affordable guesthouse- Ocean Villa, which was a 5 minute bike ride away from the our favourite beach- Anse Source D’Argent.
La Digue was relatively empty at all times and it we could have the best spots to ourselves for many hours which was one of the main reasons we loved it there.
You can visit everything the island has to offer during just one day, and all the gems are easily accessible by bike. Fave food place on the island is Fish Trap.
Felicite Island is home to one of the most extraordinary hotels we have even stayed at- Six Senses Zil Pasyon. This one is a big spend, but worth every penny considering it’s facilities, surroundings and food.

I've seen a lot of palm trees in my time, but wow. I have never seen one so long, old and big in all my LIFE!
The Wondering Dreamer
One of the best experinces I’ve ever had. We met freshman year of college in China. Different people from different worlds coming together to form a life-long bond that trenscends borders, time, and cultures. Going to Seychelles for our friends wedding was life changing. The food, people, and hospitality was amazing. Seychelles should be everyones life long destination. #Hallotrip #bestlife #Seychelles

The first time I knew about Seychelles, I accidentally saw the photo of the Banyan Tree Hotel homepage, which deeply attracted me and was full of originality and mystery.
I came here personally and found that everything is the same as what I saw online! Passing through the primeval forests of Maolin, you come to this colonial-style hotel.
It is also like an African tribe. It is primitive and mysterious. There are very few guests. There is a private beach in front of the hotel. A villa is hidden in the jungle on the hillside. The
pool is the most beautiful place in the hotel, it is a good blend of the environment, water and sky.
In the days here, the citys noisy is completely abandoned, and every day, living a quiet and escaping life.

National Day Leisure Travel | Visa-free Jelly Sea Application.
Life suggestion, you really have to come to Seychelles once!
10,000 kilometers away from the southern hemisphere
Take your passport and go to a visa-free country
🌊 Seven-color jelly sea that can be directly output from the original picture
🌃 Low light pollution, visible Milky Way and starry sky
🌄 Stunning sunset after sunset for an hour...
It is also the only archipelago in the world composed of granite islands and coral islands!
🚗 Recognize Chinese driver's licenses and can rent a car for self-driving
📷 Drone friendly, basically can fly
🌊 No need to crowd, enjoy the beach
✈️ Domestic departures are usually via Ethiopian, Dubai or Doha, the former is relatively cheaper and has better flight times, but the latter two have a better flight experience. It is said that Chengdu-Seychelles direct flights will resume in November
🌊 Seychelles is composed of 115 large and small islands, with a total population of less than 100,000. Last year's National Day trip, I gave up those expensive one-island-one-hotel, in fact, it is not as expensive as I imagined (tycoons at will), I went to three islands in 8 days and 7 nights, which happened to be the top three islands in Seychelles⬇️
🌟 Mahe Island (Mahe Island)
The capital Victoria is located, which is the main island
Although her beaches are not as white and fine as the outer islands
But the jelly-colored sea is not inferior to the outer islands
The price is also lower than the outer islands
And living on the main island allows you to experience the real local culture
🌟 Praslin Island (Praslin Island)
The second largest island in Seychelles, the most popular
It is also one of the few islands in Seychelles where you can see sea coconuts
There are also national birds African black parrots
With flour-like fine sand and gradient glass sea
🌟 Silhouette Island (Silhouette Island)
The third largest island in Seychelles (not La Digue!)
It's the biggest surprise in Seychelles!
Relatively few Chinese go
There are very few online strategies, but it is very popular with Europeans and Americans
The whole island is a national park
Listed as a nature reserve by Seychelles
As a one-island-one-hotel
Compared to other islands with a starting price of 5 figures per night
The price here is particularly affordable
🔍 You can search for the specific strategies of each island on my homepage before publishing notes, and more photo positions are also recorded

A brand new travel experience! The Indian Ocean Vanilla Islands Tour 4.
🛬 Seychelles, the "Last Eden on Earth"
Seychelles is an archipelago with mature tourism resources. Each island in Seychelles has its own characteristics. Island hopping is the best way to experience Seychelles. Like a seabird, fly from one island to another and enjoy the wild luxury of Seychelles.
Mahe Island and Praslin Island are more relaxed, while La Digue Island has the World Natural Heritage May Valley. Being in May Valley, you can't help but sigh that the Eden on Earth really exists.
⛺ Mahe Island, the bustling and quiet island
Mahe Island is the largest island in Seychelles, bustling and lively. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the forests are lush and beautiful.
🧡 Victoria on the island is the capital of Seychelles and the smallest capital in Africa. Walking through the Hindu Temple, the Little Clock, the Natural Museum, the Seychelles National Post Office, and the Bank, you can quickly understand the administrative overview of this country.
🧡 Beau Vallon Beach on the island is a famous diving spot. The clear water and dense coral reefs create a wild and primitive beauty. More characteristically, there is a market for snacks and souvenirs every Wednesday and Saturday night.
🍩 The real Seychelles is on Praslin Island
Praslin Island is the second largest island in Seychelles, with stunning granite and unbeatable sea views at sunset.
Europeans came to know Seychelles because of Praslin Island. As early as the mid-18th century, Europeans spread the word that they had found the legendary Eden, which was Praslin Island. More specifically, it was May Valley on Praslin Island.
In the 1940s, May Valley was still a private estate, and its name was taken by the then estate owner. It became a national park in 1966 and was designated a World Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983.
May Valley still retains its original appearance. Except for the firebreaks on the periphery, all the plants in it grow naturally. Walking through the tropical forest full of towering coconut trees, an adult's body is not even as big as a leaf.
🧡 May Valley is most famous for its sea coconuts, and there are more than 7,000 sea coconut trees on Praslin Island. Sea coconuts are considered a national treasure by the Seychellois, and they are unique to the region. The sale and export of sea coconuts are strictly controlled, and special permits are required for export, costing around US$300 each. The Chinese have a special fondness for it.
🏨 The wild and romantic La Digue Island
La Digue Island is the third largest island in Seychelles, and it is listed as one of the "50 Places to Go in Your Lifetime" due to its excellent pristine ecology. There are many French-style guesthouses on the island, and children riding bicycles in groups after school pass through the island, full of life.
🧡 Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue Island, also known as Silver Spring Beach, is rated by photography enthusiasts as the world's No. 1 beach. The beach is famous for its pale pink color. The 007 and Jurassic Park film series have been filmed on Anse Source d'Argent. Its most obvious feature is the surrounding giant granite rocks of various shapes, which are very recognizable. It is also the only收费 beach in Seychelles.

What does the world's smallest capital city look like?
The capital, Victoria, the smallest capital in the world, is home to a third of the population of Seychelles. The architecture here is filled with European charm, and the iconic building in the center of Victoria is the Victoria Clock Tower. This clock tower, which witnessed the colonial history of Seychelles, is less than 10 meters tall and was gifted by the British in 1903 (the year Seychelles became a British colony), and is also known as the 'Little Big Ben'.
⛪️ Just around the corner from the city center, you can see the Anglican Church, backed by mountains, with the church shrouded in mist after the rain, looking very ethereal. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Victoria is also a famous landmark of the city, not far away, just a few minutes' walk.
🥬 Stroll around the market to get a feel for the local life. Vegetables, fruits, seafood, flowers, spices, and groceries are all available for purchase. Here you can also see the national treasure of Seychelles, the very uniquely shaped coco de mer.
The locals are very simple and not overly enthusiastic, nor do they mind having their photos taken; some parents of little girls even indicated that I could take pictures of their children. Grateful for this sincere encounter❤️

I have returned to my country, but my soul still lingers in the southern hemisphere
44 months later, I returned to the first stop in the world
Long-awaited Seychelles
This beautiful island that made me crazy about planting grass 10 years ago
8 nights, did not stay in the popular Praslin Island and La Digue Island
But chose Mahe Island➕Silhouette Island
🌟Silhouette Island, relatively unpopular among Chinese people, is the third largest island in Seychelles, yes❗️Don't be misled by those yxh, she is the third largest island! La Digue Island ranks fourth!
⛱️I really recommend Silhouette Island‼️
The indigenous people on the island are less than 100, and there is only one Hilton Hotel, which is particularly friendly compared to other one-island-one-hotel starting at 1w per night. All are independent villa types, you can go straight to the beach when you open the balcony door, the shallow mint green jelly sea➕the deep blue sea in the distance, every day when I wake up, my eyes are healed
📷The most important thing is that there are no people here‼️Basically, you can find a deserted beach to take pictures at any time during the day. There are no cars on the island, you can Islandwalk or ride a bike. Silhouette also means silhouette, the afterglow after sunset lasts for a long time, and you can also take pictures of the 🌌Milky Way on the beach at night
🚶In addition to soaking in the hotel and going out to play in the water, the most attractive thing here at the beginning is that you can actually Islandhike❗️It's a real hiking! There are four routes in total, the shortest one-way 1.5 kilometers, the longest 10 kilometers, the shortest route can be walked by yourself, and the other three need to be explored under the guidance of a guide

Super-Powerful ❤️ Time!
Super-powerful, indeed! ❤️ Time, that enigmatic force that weaves the tapestry of our lives, has a way of revealing the profound depths of our emotions. It's the unstoppable march of seconds, minutes, and hours that often holds the key to cherished memories and unforgettable moments.
In a world where time is both our ally and our adversary, we find solace in the enduring power of love, the force that transcends the constraints of the clock. Love knows no bounds, and its impact resonates across the sands of time, etching its mark on our hearts and souls.
With every beat of our hearts, with every shared smile and tender embrace, we are reminded of the superpower that truly matters – the power to love and be loved, to connect and cherish, and to create timeless memories that will forever illuminate the journey of our lives. So, let us celebrate this superpower with all the love in our hearts, for it is the essence of what makes life truly extraordinary. ❤️✨🕰️
