The Seychelles is an archipelago of 41 granitic and about 75 coralline islands in the Indian Ocean. The Seychelles is a luxuriant, tropical paradise. The beaches are a photographer?s dream, the stereotype of paradise that appears in countless advertisements and glossy travel brochures. There are more shades of blue and green in the Seychelles than it is possible to imagine. Forming a backdrop to the relaxed tropical image of the Seychelles are the rhythms, colours and flavours of Africa and gris gris, the local brand of black magic.This is Seychelles.
