What do you know about Seychelles?


I think it is an island, i saw very beautiful pictures,, but where is it ??, and ppl there... whats there major language?

Seychelles鈥?115 granite and coral islands extend from between 4 and 10 degrees south of the equator and lie between 480km and 1,600km from the east coast of Africa in the western Indian Ocean.
There are three official languages in Seychelles: Creole (a lilting, French-based patois), English and French. Many Seychellois also speak fluent Italian or German.
Today, the 81,000 strong Seychellois population continues to reflect its multi-ethnic roots. Traditionally, the islands have attracted a broad diversity of peoples from the four corners of the earth that has included freed slaves, European settlers, political exiles, adventurers, traders of Arab and Persian origin as well as Chinese and Indians.

The above answer is correct. There are many islands in the Seychelles. Many people (including me) stay in the Seychelles before traveling to Africa.

The islands are simply too beautiful to describe but it comes close to paradise. The islands are very laid back, things move slowly, weather is hot, ocean activities abound, and a very romantic place. I made the mistake of traveling there by myself and was surrounded by couples many on their honeymoon!

The islanders are terrific and very friendly - had no problem with their language as most spoke English.

So, if you love the 3 S's - sun, sand and sea and have someone to travel with you can't ask for more. Did notice that there's not much for children to do - so keep that in mind. Several honeymooners said there's not enough to do on the islands - I tended to agree - I should have booked for a shorter stay.
But the Seychelles is one of the most beautiful places on the earth! :)
