Nadi is the city located in the western part of Viti Levu – the biggest island of Fiji. It is the third biggest city when it comes to population, that counts not more than fifty thousand citizens (after adding neighbouring villages). Being there, don’t forget to try local fruits – probably the sweetest and the best, that you are ever to try.
One of the biggest advantages of the location of the city, as well as the whole Fiji, is the fact that staying in the Equatorial area is quite encouraging no matter what is the season. Actually you can always expect temperature around 30 degrees Celsius. If we were about to indicate a specific period, it is best to go to Nadi between May and October, when it is a bit less hot, and rains less often than in other times.
Nadi is the city of many cultures, called the gate to Fiji. It is a perfect spot for getting to know habits, including, great cuisine, as well as music played live, that you can hear on every step. After sightseeing the area, you can boldly set off to further journey via this hugely fascinating country composed of more than eight hundred islands, small and bigger ones.
The Viti Levu Island itself you can see by taking one of trips organized by local touristic agencies, for instance Original Green Tour with premises in Nadi. They are dedicated to small and average sized groups, thanks to which a guide can better adjust to your needs.
Nadi, as a destination for many tourists, has richly developed hotel and gastronomic infrastructure. Many existing there restaurants are worth recommending. One of the most popular is Tu's Place, that you will find at Queens Road, Martintar. You can be sure that you will leave this place satisfied and filled with great, local titbits.
