Thinking about holidays we can find two categories of people. The one's who like luxury places full of life and noise and the one's who love a quite place to relax and enjoy the natural beaty.
Well , in today's post i have the perfect location for the second category. Saba island located in the Holland's Antilles is the perfect place for them.
Saba, known as "The Unspoiled Queen" due to the protection of its unique ecosystem, is a 13 sq km volcanic island in the Leeward Antilles. Since it is not a reef island, it does not have the sandy beaches most notable in the Caribbean, but rather mostly cliff faces and rocky shore. The island, however, attracts tourists for it's diverse and vibrant ecosystem and the unique diving experiences that can offer. The population of Saba is 1,424 people spread into four major villages.
The Bottom is the largest village and is the capital of the island. Despite it's name, it is quite high up on the island.
Windwardside – the second largest village and home to most of the shopping and tourist attractions in Saba. The regular sea breeze usually renders air-conditioning unnecessary, and makes it a nice choice for accommodation.
Hell's Gate – the first village passed when traveling from the airport
St. John's – the smallest village and largely residential. It does, however, contain both of the island's schools as well as a church and a couple eateries. It lies along the road between The Bottom and Windwardside.
Going to Saba by airplane is a 15 minutes plane ride from St. Maarten's Juliana International Airport. Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport in Saba opened in 1963 and many pilots consider this to be the world's most dangerous airport !!! In fact, pilots needs special training to land there. I know now maybe i caused you some bad thought's about this place but you have to know that no major tragedies have occurred there.
