The islands of St Kitts and Nevis , which together
comprise the smallest nation in the western hemisphere, are unique
in the Eastern Caribbean for their remarkable preservation of West
Indian culture and attitudes. Nowhere else in the region will you
find such pristine examples of colonial architecture, gorgeous
plantation inns, ramshackle sugar mills and genuine hospitality.
While there are ample opportunities for excellent diving and snorkelling,
hiking and horse riding, kicking-back is the order of the day on
both islands, their low-key ambience stemming, in large part, from
the lack of massive resorts common elsewhere in the region. St
Kitts' popular Frigate Bay area is currently undergoing expansion,
however,
which may herald a new era. |
