SEYCHELLES REPORT TRAVEL.

 


Punctual as never before leaves from Ivato Airport (Madagascar), at 2.50 pm my plane no. HM 754 of the Air Seychelles Company in the direction of Seychelles International Airport, on Mahè Island, (price of the multi-route ticket including taxes from Ivato (Madagascar) to Mahè (Seychelles) and from Mahè (Seychelles) to Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Airport (Mauritius): Euro 413.86). The price includes lunch.

 

To be able to set foot in the Seychelles, for tourism, up to a maximum of 30 days, it is necessary to have a Visa which is issued free of charge directly at the airport. In theory, they ask you for a return or onward flight ticket, they didn't ask me.

 

Keep in mind that almost all 85,000 Seychelles inhabitants speak 3 languages: Creole, French and English.

 

In the Seychells, almost all year round, being close to the equator, the night temperatures are almost equal to the daytime ones, which are between 25 ° and 30 °.

 

Keep in mind that all hotels and many restaurants and shops in the Seychelles accept Euros and therefore there is no reason to change a large amount of currency. However, the currency exchange counter is located on the far right for those leaving the baggage claim hall.

 

I spent the nights on Mahè Island in the Seychelles at the Charlette Residence (booked by email), located in Turtle Bay, Au Cap, located in the south-eastern part of the island about 7 km south of the airport. It does not have single and double rooms, but only two-room apartments with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, terrace and garden. Very clean and spacious. The cost is only 40 Euros per night, which makes it one of the cheapest accommodations on the island. The price also includes transport to and from the airport. The Owner is very helpful. There is also free wifi and air conditioning. The only flaw is that the Guesthouse is located in an area where there are no beaches and clubs, but 100 meters away. from the same there is the bus stop that run from 5.00 to 19.00 every day and reach any place on the island which is very small (the perimeter is about 60 km.). The price for a ride to any part of the island is SCR 5. You pay directly to the driver when you board and the ticket is issued. Banknotes of 50 SCR or higher are not accepted. The frequency of the buses is very high and the stops are many and are announced with a call button. Almost all the drivers run as if they were in a racetrack. Driving is on the left.

 

Keep in mind that the small capital Victoria is deserted on Saturday afternoons and Sundays as all shops, supermarkets and restaurants are closed and it looks very seedy.
