Heavenly Beaches in The Caribbean
Friday, 28 October 2011 16:04
The Caribbean consisting of over 7,000 islands, islets, cays and reefs are everyone’s idea of dream vacation. The Caribbean is also a symbol of adventure, especially after watching The Pirates of the Caribbean with Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley. But apart from cinematographic references, it is undoubtedly a perfect honeymoon destination, or just a great getaway holiday with family or friends.
Despite the name – common to all the islands in the archipelago – the individual islands are highly diverse, both when it comes to history, culture, religion and political systems. What left its imprint on the islands, was the era of colonialism and slavery, which led to many uprisings, wars and battles in the area. But despite this heavy burden of history, the local people have managed to preserve their colourful identity and did not lose their spirit.
The most popular holiday destinations in the Caribbean are Barbados, The Dominican Republic, Jamaica, or The Republic of Cuba, but other popular places include: Barbuda, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, Grenada, Antigua, Guadeloupe, or Saint Kitts and Nevis.
The easiest, and fastest way to get to the Caribbean is by air. To find the right connection, you can use our flight search engine, which provides you with all the connections available. The only thing you need to provide us with, is information concerning your departure location, destination and preferable dates of your journey.
The biggest airport in the whole of the Caribbean is Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport located in Carolina, Puerto Rico. Over 4 million passengers travel through its gates every year.
Why is it such a popular tourist destination? One reason might be its marvelous natural conditions, hot and humid climate, wonderful landscapes and stunningly beautiful wide sandy beaches. If lying on the beach is not enough for you, there are also other activities available, like a visit to a Spa centre, or trying some water sports like surfing, windsurfing, diving or sailing.
The Caribbean is a colourful place constantly bustling with life, and attracting people of all ages and interests. Don’t wait, book your flight right away to experience this unique mixture of adventure and heavenly bliss!
