Those who want to visit the islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe (part of the French oversea territories) or the islands of the Greater Antilles, should opt for one island in order to have enough time exploring it. Countries and distances between them are too large to circumnavigate them in a few days. Above all, Cuba is considered as the main destination of travelers. The rhythm of salsa in Havanna, a slightly ruinous charm within most cities, the diversity of music and beautiful, secluded beaches and bays attract many tourists.
Island-hopping is the best way to explore the Lesser Antilles, whose island arch extends from the Virgin Islands to the Venezuelan coast. Here you can rediscover the colorful diversity of the Caribbean: lush greenery, volcanic craters inland, crystal clear water surrounding beautiful sandy beaches, sunlit colonial architecture, colorful wooden houses and wonderfully scented Creole cuisine served in numerous restaurants and bars.
