Seychelles the real paradise! Playing Cards

The Seychelles consists of many islands in the Indian Ocean that have long been considered some of the world's greatest natural treasures. This 115-island archipelago is located about a thousand miles off the eastern coast of Africa to the north east island of Madagascar.The islands are scattered over 150,000 square miles (400,000 sq km) of the Indian Ocean and range from granite rock islands with lush vegetation to coral atolls that barely rise out of the sea. Seychelles islands are known for their pristine beaches, which are tourist attractions, particularly on the larger islands of Mahè, La Digue and Praslin. The islands are sufficiently removed from the rush of everyday living. The most important feature of the Seychelles is their isolation. Photographed by Julia Apostolova.
