10 good reasons to visit the Comoros
1. The reception of Comorians
When you get off the plane, you will be placed a flower necklace around your neck and you will probably be invited to drink ginger tea while eating sambousas. Imagine the same scene at Charles de Gaulle…

2. Nature and hiking
The Comoros are volcanic islands, where nature is still very present. The steep slopes of the Comorian hills make them an exceptional playground for hiking enthusiasts.

3. Beaches lined with coconut trees
Because it's hard to find a better way to relax than drinking a coconut in front of the blue Indian Ocean.

4. The beauty of the seabed
The Comoros are among the best diving spots in the world. During a snorkeling session at the Mohéli Marine Park, you can see green turtles, Manta rays and squid.

5. Perfumes
The Comoros are nicknamed “the perfume islands”, and it’s not for nothing! The main crops of the archipelago are vanilla, cloves, and ylang-ylang, a flower with an intoxicating scent adored by perfumers.

6. Sunday picnics
Sunday is sacred ! Traditionally, men take advantage of this day to organize picnics on the beach. On the menu: mabawas (grilled chicken wings), grilled fish or octopus, accompanied by fried bananas or breadfruit.

7. A rich and diverse culture
The Comorian people come from a mix of Persians and people from East Africa. Here, tradition and religion are closely linked. Perhaps you will have the chance to attend a big wedding ceremony and discover traditional dances and outfits.

8. Exotic fruits
Coconuts, mangoes, bananas, pineapples, papayas, passion fruit, lychees, guavas, oranges, star fruit, soursop, jackfruit, cinnamon apples, Cythera apples… Every month has its favorite fruit!

9. The discovery of a country still protected from mass tourism
The Comoros welcome few visitors each year. Thus, the landscapes remain authentic and the hotel structures are simple. Visiting the Comoros is above all about meeting the inhabitants, in their environment. And you don’t need four-star hotels for that!

10. Ambient pacifism
The Comoros is a country where peace reigns on a daily basis. You can move freely in the streets at any time and you feel safe there.
