Holidays to Antigua
With temperatures constantly between 75 and 85 degrees all year round, it is hardly surprising that Antigua is well known for having a different beach for every day of the year. Scattered all around the island, coves and harbours are filled with beautiful turquoise waters and tropical fish. There are signs of the old colonial history as well as Nelsons Dockyard, which was previously home to Nelsons Fleet and numerous Spanish Galleons it now houses luxury yachts taking advantage of the fantastic relaxed lifestyle.
The capital, St Johns, has many traits of a typical city, a good selection of shops selling a variety of goods from clothes to handicrafts as well as an art gallery reflecting the culture of the island. Like many of the other Caribbean Islands, Antigua takes advantage of the locally caught fish that is prepared in a local way. 'Blackenend' - style is seasoned with black pepper and spices and is a local favourite that should be sampled. Black Pineapple, a local fruit can be purchased from the local stalls. The atmosphere in Antigua is calm, relaxed and charming. With steel bands, local rum and the friendly people, it would be difficult not to unwind and settle into the laidback lifestyle.
