Itineraries
A Cosmopolitan Island
Centuries of traders, sailors and explorers
For centuries, this dynamic archipelago has been frequented by traders, sailors, and explorers from all over the world — and you can still see the evidence in the local culture. With heavy influences from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, it's a wonderful hodgepodge of different foods, architecture, and art.
This Indian Ocean getaway looks like it was lifted straight from a postcard, with serene shorelines and wonderfully warm weather. But dig a little deeper and you'll find an abundance of treasures: buildings influenced by a dozen cultures, vibrant stories and celebrations, and the rich scents of fantastic spices. Keep exploring, and you might find lush ecosystems, playful monkeys, stately tortoises — and even some of the personal belongings of one of history's most famous musicians.
