About Seychelles
The Seychelles is an archipelago nation in the western Indian Ocean, comprising 115 islands situated northeast of Madagascar. Its capital, Victoria, located on the main island of Mahé, is among the smallest capital cities in the world. The country is notable for having had no indigenous population before European settlement. The islands fall into two groups: granitic islands in the central region and low-lying coral atolls further out. Tourism and fishing form the backbone of the economy, and the archipelago is known for its tropical climate, dense vegetation, and rich marine biodiversity.
