I went to the\u00a0island of\u00a0Antigua and\u00a0Barbuda<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0as part of my trip to the Caribbean.\u00a0I arrived at Dominica airport, got on a plane of the local airline LIA\u0422 and after 40 minutes landed at the anti-Guan airport.<\/p>\n

The state consists of several small and two large islands –\u00a0Antigi<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Barbuda<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Yes, it is Antigoy that the locals call the main island.\u00a0Barbuda is usually called Barbuda, but I am more familiar in the English manner.\u00a0The third largest island of the state is the uninhabited\u00a0Redonda<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t say that I wanted to be on Antigua.\u00a0Rather, I flew at it to the heap, since I went to the other side of the world to\u00a0Barbados<\/a>\u00a0and Dominica.\u00a0Sin was not to capture another Caribbean country.\u00a0The choice fell on this former British colony.<\/p>\n

Who should go to Antigua and Barbuda?<\/h2>\n

Antigu differs from other Caribbean countries that I visited.<\/p>\n

Barbados<\/a>\u00a0is such a Caribbean\u00a0Mecca<\/a>\u00a0, where there is something to see, and where to swim, and where to come off.\u00a0Tourism there is designed for independent travelers from Europe aged 20 to 45.<\/p>\n

Dominica<\/a>\u00a0is a godsend for lovers of eco-tourism.\u00a0Holidays in this country are suitable for wealthy Americans and Europeans, fed up with white beaches, who are afraid of the abbreviation GMO, like hellfire.\u00a0They go to Dominica for the sake of its pristine nature and the complete lack of infrastructure – environmentally friendly products, environmentally friendly air and nothing to do.<\/p>\n

Antiga is different.<\/em><\/p>\n

Locals say there are 365 beaches on the island – one for each day of the year.\u00a0I don\u2019t know if this is true or not.\u00a0But this clearly describes the country’s main wealth.\u00a0I would say the country’s only wealth.\u00a0If you are looking for a relaxing holiday on a white sand beach, then you are in Antigu.\u00a0If you are tired of the bustle of life in a stone jungle, then you are on Antigua.\u00a0If you are not interested in adventure, exoticism and thrills, then you are on Antigu.\u00a0If for you the poorly developed infrastructure and the almost complete absence of public transport does not matter, then you are in Antigu.\u00a0If you are not a backpacker and not an adherent of budget holidays in the Asian style, then you are also to Antigu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In short, Antiga is such a disco for those over 60.<\/p>\n

Who should not go to Antigua and Barbuda?<\/h2>\n

Little is known to Russian tourists about Antigua and Barbuda.\u00a0It seems that this is a closed island, which is difficult to reach.\u00a0And if you already get it, then you will find a Caribbean fairy tale and colonial flavor.<\/p>\n

The Caribbean tale is, of course, about Antigua.\u00a0And then with a reservation.\u00a0After all, many of the beaches on the island are occupied by corporate hotels from the all inclusive series.\u00a0Personally, I was not particularly pleased to sunbathe on the beach, combed by rake, where Europeans are lying next to sunbeds, while locals serve them with colorful cocktails.\u00a0Somehow it all looked too much in the style of the Regency era.<\/p>\n

And the Caribbean flavor – not almost about this island.\u00a0If you want a cultural shock, then it is better to choose a trashy\u00a0Jamaica<\/a>\u00a0or still exotic\u00a0Cuba<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Yes, every third traveled to Cuba and every fourth to Jamaica.\u00a0But they are truly distinctive unlike Antigi.<\/p>\n

Do you want to see new landscapes every day, immerse yourself in an unusual culture, try wild products for the Russian language?\u00a0On Antigua and\u00a0Barbuda<\/a>\u00a0all this is not.\u00a0Holidays on this island will appeal to those who want to rent a hotel or a villa on the Caribbean Sea, sit on the veranda with a bottle or two of cool beer and enjoy the sunsets.\u00a0Antigas will appeal to those who most of all want to turn off smartphones and laptops and turn into a seal for a couple of weeks.\u00a0For everyone else, Antiguah will be a boring torture.<\/p>\n

How to get there<\/h2>\n
\n

Do you think that getting to Antigua and\u00a0Barbuda<\/a> is\u00a0difficult?\u00a0Don’t you think.\u00a0It is not only long and expensive, but also dreary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t get to Antigua either by bus or by train.\u00a0This is another part of the world.\u00a0The only way available is by plane.\u00a0Add the consular fee for the visa of the country in which you will be transplanting to the cost of tickets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
