What the Seychelles Islands ... for lovers of the sea and nature, a true tropical paradise. Always deserted white beaches, palm trees bent to touch a sea of ??innumerable shades, a unique and precious natural heritage, made up of virgin forests, coconut palms gigantic granite mountains that plunge into the sea, giant tortoises, flowers that create a kaleidoscope of colors . The coast is a succession of breathtaking bays and beaches that are competing to be elected among the best in the world.
Yet, this imaginary world that appears as an exclusive destination for elite tourism, offers an authentic glimpse of daily life, marked by the slow pace of his loving people. The atmosphere is far from exploring the Seychelles than that painted by the tour operators' brochures and luxury resorts. The reality is that these islands offer an intense contact with nature and its people, giving the impression of being anything but a tourist place, but it feels very strange to be immediately immersed in this air and relaxed atmosphere offered by this extraordinary place. La Digue is evidence undisputed in this small island that seems designed for tourists, with its enchanting and paradisiacal, what strikes are not the most famous beaches, but the feeling of living for a few days in a world completely different from our habits and our rhythms: Farewell cars and technology, here it is only run in bike and its people far outweigh the number of tourists: a main street where the main activities take place, the children who go to school smiling, fishermen are returning to the harbor in the morning, people who warmly greets you on the street, the only church bells commemorating the holiday.

Among the three islands visited, in my opinion Praslin is the one with the most beautiful sea, the island of La Digue and more enjoyable with the most spectacular beaches, the most extraordinary from Mahe in terms of landscape, with high mountains covered with forest plunge in the Indian Ocean, but also the most exploited and messy.
On the beaches of Praslin Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette is unsurpassed for the extension of the beach and the crystal clear water. La Digue offers glimpses of a dream, but its beaches are subject to sea conditions and tides, high tide and Anse Source d'Argent Anse Severe almost disappear. A Mahé I found a rather murky sea, despite a dubious corner and some beautiful shades of fine.
