Mauritius to Seychelles Vacations: Mahé Travel Tips
Victoria Clock Tower, Seychelles. Photo: Bjørn Christian TørrissenMahé is the largest and main island of the Seychelles' archipelago. The capital city is Victoria. If you wish a change of scene from the beautiful beaches, Victoria is a nice place to stroll around. At the center of the city stands The Victoria Clock Tower national monument which is evocative of London’s Big Ben.
To get a gist of the Seychelles’ people everyday life a visit to the bustling market place, where you will find stalls of fresh tropical fruits and vegetables, fish and other local produce, will be nice experience.
Though it is the financial and political center of the island-country, Victoria has not undergone great urban development. The atmosphere is rather reminiscent of a provincial town, but you won’t be disappointed. Alongside old but eye-catching colonial buddings, modern boutiques and shops sell souvenirs, clothing and local crafts.
Street foods and delicacies are inexpensive. Restaurants offer a wide range of European, Asian and Creole dishes.
Beau Vallon is an attractive beach of Mahé. Just snooze on the soft sand lulled by the lapping of the sparkling sea waters and refreshed by the light breeze of takamaka trees. The place is also ideal for swimming and scuba diving.
For those who like to pump-up their adrenaline level Anse Intendance and Anse Parnel are ideal spots for surfing; and that’s not all. . . . .!
