Caribbean food - a blend of delicious traditions
Caribbean cuisine is a mixture of African, Indian, European, East Indian and Chinese delicacies and specialties. The traditions were introduced by the home countries of the immigrants from the Caribbean islands . This created a unique style that makes the Caribbean dishes so unique.
The most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean - long, powdery soft and quiet
Surrounded by the world's third largest coral reef, the Turks & Caicos Islands have some of the longest and most beautiful powdery white sand beaches in the world. Most are just a few minutes from the airport and you'll often be the only one for miles around. Excursion boats take you to the uninhabited cays, where you can play Robinson Crusoe for a day. The water is pure and diamond clear and the waves rarely rise, making it ideal for young children and snorkelers of all ages.
