Comoros is three undiscovered island gems in the Indian Ocean, where Arab, African and French influences mingle. Those who make it here will tell you it lives up to the paradise hype: banana and palm trees, ylang-ylang, and the scent of cloves on the air. The people are Muslim, with a heavy Swahili influence, and the culture is rather traditional. Meaning that there’s no alcohol and dress is modest. Its odd nickname, Cloud Coup-Coup, comes from its history of over 20 coups since gaining independence in 1975.
There are four developed islands offering white sandy beaches, hiking in rainforests, giant fruit bats, volcanoes, and more.
