The Grenadian Islands
There's more than one island to explore on your Grenada holiday. The largest is Grenada with over 40 white sandy beaches and its colourful capital St George's overlooking the historic Carenage harbour. A short 90 minute boat ride away is much quieter Carriacou with its secluded white-sand beaches, and nearby is the lush one-mile-wide paradise island of Petit Martinique. These three islands stretch over 60 miles of aquamarine and azure sea and make up the most southerly country in the Windward Islands.

History of Grenada
There is plenty for history-lovers to explore in Grenada, including three military forts that offer magnificent views of the harbour, the exquisite Georgian architecture of the Houses of Parliament, the well preserved examples of French and English colonial architecture and the fascinating artifacts housed in the National Museum.

One of the most popular attractions for those wishing to learn more about Caribbean history is Leapers Hill. This hill, situated just north of Sauteurs is the site in which the Carib Indians destroyed their race rather than surrender to French Colonists in the 17th Century.
