At the end of July, an agreement on the abolition of visas to Fiji entered into force in Russia. Now the Russians will be able to stay on the territory of these islands in the southwestern part of the Pacific Ocean for 90 days. Traveling to Fiji is expensive, but worth the trip. Here are 5 reasons why you should do it.

1. Relax in comfort

More than 300 islands are striking with blue lagoons.

Fiji is the most developed island state in Oceania in terms of tourism. More than 300 islands amaze the imagination with blue lagoons, gorgeous white sand beaches and hills covered with evergreen forests. About 100 islands are inhabited by people, the rest are uninhabited. Each of the islands has a unique, unrepeatable view.

2. Taste local cuisine

National Fijian cuisine is very exotic and will delight every gourmet. Some of the traditional dishes: "kakoda" - marinated fish stewed in coconut milk with lime, "duruka" - a local vegetable that tastes like asparagus, "lovo" - a series of dishes cooked in an earthen oven.

3. Go in for water sports

Fiji is an ideal destination for water sports enthusiasts. Here they are fully developed. You can master surfing, kayaking, rafting and so on. But the most common in Fiji is diving - by the way, the underwater world of Fiji is unlikely to leave you indifferent. Here you can see with your own eyes real octopuses, rays, squids, jellyfish and rare fish species in their natural habitat. For the most daring, an attraction is practiced - feeding sharks, for romantics - swimming with dolphins.

4. See local attractions

The old capital city of Levuka is worth visiting.

Beach holidays are the main pastime in Fiji. But even outside the sea coast there is something to see. All visitors should definitely visit the old capital - the city of Levuka, the village of Lovoni in the crater of an extinct volcano, the sand dunes of Sigatoka and the Koroyanitu National Heritage Park, the "sleeping giant's garden" by Mount Sabeto, sugar cane plantations, ethnic markets. Also worth seeing is the very spectacular firewalking religious ritual and the colorful festival with songs and dances.

5. Be the first to meet a new day

Through one of the islands of Fiji - Taveuni - the date line passes, that is, it is here that a new day begins.
