Seychelles is considered the gateway to the Garden of Eden. This is not surprising, because the pristine beauty of a small state can conquer the traveler’s heart from the first moment.
Seychelles: paradise on earth
Seychelles is a fairly distant power, which in recent years has become one of the most popular romantic destinations for Russian tourism. The state consists of one hundred and fifteen islands scattered in the Indian Ocean. Only thirty of them are currently inhabited. The rest are still a haven for animals and birds, many of which live only in this territory.
Tourists travel to the Seychelles to look at the huge long-lived tortoises, get a certificate of diving. The organization of wedding celebrations on the islands is also in great demand. Travel companies have been actively offering such services for several years.
Seychelles Victoria Airport
Most islands do not even reach one kilometer in diameter. The capital of the state is the city of Victoria, located on the island of Mahe. Seychelles has the only international airport built ten kilometers from the capital of the state. In addition to it, each large island has its own air gate, providing domestic air travel. But most locals prefer to travel by water. Everyone has at their disposal a boat or boat.

Since this is the only international airport, it connects the Seychelles with Europe, Asia and America. Each tourist begins his acquaintance with a tropical paradise from this place.
In the sixties of the last century, Seychelles was not very popular. And in order to stir up interest in the archipelago, the authorities decided to allocate funds for the construction of an international airport. All work was completed in ten years. But the passenger turnover at that time was about seven hundred thousand people. It seemed an unprecedented figure.
By the beginning of the nineties, everything had changed. The islands were covered by a wave of unprecedented popularity, for which the Seychelles were not ready. The airport has ceased to cope with passenger traffic. And it took an urgent reconstruction of the building, as well as the runway. In the shortest period, work was carried out on the reconstruction of the international airport.
