The region called
The Seychelles is actually a set of islands.. We dock at Mahe Island for the first time with our ship Costa Romantica.. Victoria, the capital of Mahe, is also the capital of Seychelles. It also has the distinction of being the smallest capital city in the world.
There are 3 very important islands in Seychelles. These; Mahe, La Digue and Praslin. Praslin is also on the World Heritage List.. Its other known name is Palmiye Island.
The Seychelles were occupied by the Portuguese in 1505 and by the French in 1768.. But the occupation of the French did not last long and in 1794 the island passed to British rule.. With the Treaty of Paris in 1814, the island was given to the British.. After about 160 years, they declared their independence in 1976 and immediately after that, they put their Constitution into effect in 1974.
It is governed by a one-party republic.. However, the important point is that there are 2 countries in the world with a 10% threshold; One of them is Turkey and the other is Seychelles…
