Hear about travel to the West Indies, to the islands of Sint Maarten/Saint Martin, Anguilla, Saba, Saint Barthélemy, and Sint Eustatius, as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jeff Ohlfs about his island-hopping adventure. Why should you travel to these 5 islands? Jeff says, "Some of them are not visited at all. Some of them are overly visited. They're all near each other, so it makes for a nice little grouping. I used St. Martin as a base. St. Martin is known as the friendly island and you can do daily flights to each of the other islands." Jeff recommends an itinerary that includes visiting five of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, known as the British, Dutch, and French West Indies. His suggested itinerary includes the following islands: St. Martin (French and Dutch) Use St. Martin as a base for island hopping. Stay at the Azure Hotel and Art Studio on Simpson Bay Beach. Explore both the Dutch side (Philipsburg) and the French side (Marigot). Visit historical forts like Fort Amsterdam and Fort St. Louis. Experience the famous Princess Juliana International Airport at Maho Beach. Recommended dining: Beirut Restaurant (Mediterranean), Mary's Boon Restaurant (local fish), and Villa Royale (French side, goat curry with guava berry liqueur). ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-the-west-indies/ Learn more about your ad choices.
