The island of Ortigia

A few nautical miles south of Martinique, St Lucia is an island of dual colonial heritage and a true pearl in the heart of the Caribbean. Nicknamed «the Helen of the West», St Lucia is immersed in sumptuous landscapes, mingled scents and captivating sounds. The island is generously gifted with fascinating landscapes, both coastal and mountainous, dominated by 2 large peaks, which lend themselves to all adventures: exploring majestic relief, discovering endemic fauna and flora, or the simple pleasure of lounging on golden beaches fringed with palm trees. To make sure you don't miss anything on your trip, a detour to the towns of Pigeon Island, Castries, or Soufrière is essential, for their military and architectural remains that reflect the country's culture.
