Mahé
is the largest and most important island of the
Seychelles archipelago. This spectacular island is only
27 kilometres long but is dominated by a mountain range
that forms the backbone of the island. The highest peak,
Morne Seychellois, reaches a height of 905metres and
provides a perfect backdrop to the capital city
Victoria.Although Mahé is the economic and political
centre of the Seychelles it has still retained its
natural charm and beauty. In many ways Mahé is the most
spectacular, its huge mountains and lush tropical
vegetation provide an inspiring sight. There are over 75
beaches scattered around the island and often you will
find that you are the only people present. The beaches
are idyllic, soft beautiful sand, fringed by swaying
palm trees and a warm and inviting sea to help you cool
off from the tropical sun.All overseas visitors arrive
on Mahé, either by the port which is next to Victoria or
at the Seychelles International Airport, which can be
found on the east coast of the island. Some visitors do
not stop in Mahé but rather fly or sail to neighbouring
islands, which is a mistake as Mahé has so much to
offer. Victoria is small enough that it does not take
too long to walk around, it is the best way to see the
city and to get a feel of the place and the people. The
market is a hive of activity daily except Sundays. Here
it is easy to see why the Seychellois are often called
the friendliest people in the world.
