Holiday to Grenada: Elliptically Shaped

Isn’t that the place that the US invaded within the ‘80s? Didn’t it get munched by a hurricane a couple of years in the past? Grenada is used to unhealthy press. But like a fighter on the ropes, it’s come out swinging and has reinvented itself as the following big thing. The one huge island and two small ones plunked in the sea within the southeast corner of the Caribbean are undiscovered and barely visited. For the smallest independent country in the western hemisphere, this place has quite a bit to offer.

Grenada Island is elliptically formed and alive with a rain forested interior. Underrated seashores line the coast and stylish scuba diving is on supply just below the surface. St George’s, the most important town, has one of the crucial picturesque waterfronts in all the Caribbean. Stone buildings, forts from a forgotten time and houses of all colors meld into a hilly buffet of city aesthetics. Pleasant, welcoming locals go about their lives and are completely satisfied to incorporate you within the process.

Carriacou is a step again in time. With a cadence a notch or two slower then Grenada Island, this petite isle is a relaxed affair the place endearing locals and an eclectic village life is added to chic scenery. And if that sounds too busy, head over to Petit Martinique where even much less happens - and the locals like it that way. Sure, Grenada did get invaded by Uncle Sam, but that’s previous news. And yes, a hurricane obliterated much of the island in 2004, but they’ve rebuilt. Life strikes on, and so has Grenada.
