Like scraps of Africa
Article Abstract:
The islands that make up the Seychelles differ considerably from each other in atmosphere and appearance. The granite islands, such as Mahe, the largest, are high and lush, while others are much flatter. There are strong colonial influences on Mahe, but other islands have a more mixed culture. Digue has some extremely attractive beaches, while Praslin has an ancient forest which is now a World Heritage site.
