Islands belonging to Antigua and Barbuda
Territorial state, total area 440 km², occupies three islands: Antigua is the largest and most populated, secluded uncrowded Barbuda and uninhabited little Redonda. Any of them are wonderful in their own way, because, planning a vacation in a former English colony, it is advisable to visit every.
Antigua
Antigua is famous for its gorgeous beaches, the number of which corresponds to the number of days in a year. Territory in 280 km² almost all flat, only in the southwestern part there is a slight hilly. Washes tropical Eden Caribbean Sea, from the west adjacent to Saint Kitts and Nevis, from the south - from Guadeloupe, from the northwest is Anguilla.
Holidays in Antigua are very diverse: after sunbathing and diving, you can switch to golf, view the marvelous coastal panorama from the helicopter window, go fishing in the open sea, walk through the many-voiced colorful bazaar, look into boutiques with world brands, take part in an adventure jeep safari. A bright end to a busy day will be a resounding ethno-party, lucrative casino gambling and excellent gourmet dinner.
sights: bird kingdom - Codrington lagoon, Dolphin-favored Marina Bay, Nelson's Dockyard National Park, known in all the Caribbean Devil's Bridge, Fort James, State History Museum, grandiose cathedral of the XIX century, Nika Mali Gallery, Long Street carnival.
Barbuda
The island of Barbuda does not pretend to be a bustling resort center - a blooming land with an area of slightly more 160 km² created by nature itself for a romantic secluded getaway. However, in the only town of Codrington, it's easy to get the whole entertainment set, unpopulated land, covered with rich vegetation, chosen by connoisseurs of untouched nature. Reclining on a golden-pink beach in the openwork shade of carved palms, dives to picturesque depths, bliss of gentle waves, eco-excursions inland, stylized pirate holidays, bike and car rides, short cruises on catamarans and yachts, cozy picnics under the night Caribbean sky - everyone here finds something to their liking.
sights: lagoon-reserve - the domain of narrow-winged frigates, ruined by an earthquake, 350-year-old Codrington House castle, Government House, art cafe, owned by writer Frank Claire, Martello tower, Gravenor Bay, airport Coco Point Lodge.
Redonda
Redonda Island is uninhabitable and small, however, this scanty piece of land has its own history. Due to steep slopes, the area is difficult to calculate accurately - according to various estimates, it varies from 1,6 to 2,5 km². In translation Redonda means "rounded", this is how the ubiquitous Columbus characterized the next discovery. Really, from a distance, from a certain angle, a miniature Caribbean island has a spherical shape towering over the sea, in fact, and it is perfectly visible from a height, more like a giant sole imprint. Territory, formally owned by Antigua and Barbuda, in parallel is also a virtual state. The fight for the ephemeral throne has long been a reason for jokes, since more than a dozen rulers claim to be the monarch with their emblems-flags-hymns.
Chosen by the mysterious islet of extreme yachtsmen, reckless adventurers, yes scientists, arriving occasionally for research measurements. Ordinary tourists are content with a half-hour helicopter tour..
The capital of Antigua and Barbuda
The main city of the West Indian state - St. John's - thrives on the island of Antigua. The population is slightly over 30 thousand. man, which is almost half of all residents of an independent country. Founded capital in 1632 year, when the land was taken over by the British. Although over the centuries hurricanes have dominated the territory of the town more than once, some of the unique buildings have survived, and today excursions to architectural monuments - St. John's Cathedral, Fort James, Kurt Hausu, colonial House of the Court, Radcliffe-Quay et al. - especially popular with tourists.
The compact location of the main attractions eliminates the need to spend time traveling. Buses run regularly (except weekends). If you have the appropriate documents, it is easy to rent a car, remembering left-hand traffic. The taxi fare is fixed, many of the drivers will easily act as a guide. To have a snack and rest, just stop at any restaurant: always on the choice of dishes of exotic and European cuisine, local beer and rum, soft drinks with fruit ice.
