The Bahamas is an archipelago located in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, in the middle between Liberty Island and the Florida Peninsula, which includes about 700 islands, of which only three dozen are inhabited, and two and a half beautiful reefs.
In essence, islands are the tops of underwater rocks deposited from reef and coral limestones, which are located in shallow water.
For many, the Bahamas, which are washed by the warm currents of the Gulf Stream, are associated with a luxurious and chic vacation. And this is no coincidence: today this island nation is the richest in this region, because it is here that the gambling business center and large financial offshore center are located.
Of course, not banks and casinos are the merits of this resort. The Bahamas are white beaches stretching for hundreds of kilometers, coral reefs, clear water and exotic nature.
Holidays in the Bahamas are most successful from September to May, when the water warms up to +27 ° C, because the rest of the time it rains, sometimes tropical storms and hurricanes are possible.
For all those who are tired of everyday routine, vacation in the Bahamas will be a life-saving opportunity, allowing you to find yourself in a world where life and time flow in a completely different way. Large islands attract tourists with their well-developed tourist infrastructure, and small ones - with privacy and romance, which help to relax, immersed in a real fairy tale.
The Greater Bahamas is literally teeming with nightly restaurants, cabarets, bars, and casinos. There is absolutely everything to actively relax or engage in water sports. Especially these are the islands of New Providence, on which the capital of this state of Nassau is located, as well as Harbor Island and Greater Bahama.
It is on New Providence, the most visited island, that the largest open-air aquarium is built - Atlantis, as well as a transparent tunnel under water, copies of the famous Mayan pyramids and a labyrinth created in the form of the ruins of ancient Atlantis.
The largest luxury hotels, casinos, yacht clubs, and golf courses have been built in the Bahamas. Many celebrities have their own villas here.
On the islands of Bimini, Berry, Andros, you can do excellent fishing, on Abacos and Eleuthera - diving among the stunning coral reefs, swim with dolphins, watch pink flamingos and exotic iguanas, as well as try to feed sharks on the island of Inagua. Yachtsmen from all over the world gather on the second largest island of the archipelago - Big Abako, because the sailing season closes here only for two winter months, and the rest of the time you can go in for any water sports or just catch a fish that literally teems with this coast. Due to the constant ebbs and flows that change the depth of the water into the shallows, the sea becomes stunningly beautiful. Therefore, diving enthusiasts come here.
In general, the Bahamas is not very dense vegetation, and only in the west there are impenetrable pine forests. In the rest of the territory, thickets of aloe and cacti prevail. From all sides the coast is framed by mangrove plantations, and savannas are everywhere in the center.
The Bahamas are part of the British Commonwealth, so the Queen is considered the head of this state, whose representative on this territory is the Governor-General.
Holidays in the Bahamas is suitable for literally all age categories with different preferences. The main thing is that a stay in this heavenly spot leaves countless pleasant memories and positive impressions in your memory.
