Sint Maarten

Even if it is only 32 square kilometers, St Thomas has 1 million things to do. Go shopping, sailing, snorkeling and visiting the city, diving and lavish lunches.

Today, the charm goes beyond the natural gifts of the island. The political division of the land has given the island two very different personalities, like a pair of twins, although basically only one entity; both sides are engaged in unconscious tug-of-war as if to affirm their individuality. But, although neither likes to admit it, the best is obtained from the sum of the two parts.

Castries

St Lucia is renowned for its beautiful beaches. The most popular is Vigie Beach, a beautiful curve of golden sand, dotted with swaying palm trees.

St. Lucia has been part of the British Commonwealth since 1803. But before that, it was often occupied by the French, whose influences are evident in much of the island's culture. Castries offers a colorful local market and great shopping. And the surrounding areas offer lush rainforests, impressive waterfalls, beautiful beaches and sulfur springs. Admire the beautiful coast of Santa Lucia from the deck of a catamaran. You will have an unbeatable view of the landscape and you will get an exhilarating ride.

Scarborough

Scarborough is the largest city in Tobago, one of the two islands of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It has about 17,000 inhabitants, almost a third of the island's population. The city is dominated by Fort King George, an eighteenth-century fortification named after the British King George III, which today houses a History and Archaeology museum. Scarborough is the capital and deep-water port of Trinidad and Tobago, and its administrative center. Located on Rockly Bay, the city is situated on the slopes of a hill 13 km from the south-western tip of Tobago. At the top of the hill there is Fort King George built by the British in the late 1700s. Scarborough has several facilities dating back to the 19th century, including the House of Assembly, a finely restored Georgian building. The city has benefited considerably from the growth of tourism in Tobago and has many commercial buildings. Tobago Airport, Crown Point, is about 11 km from Scarborough and handles domestic and international flights. Outside the port you will find vendors of traditional homemade sweets - sugar cakes (grated coconut cooked in milk and sugar) and sweets made of sticky sesame seeds held together by sugar and caramelized.
