Marsh Harbour Nassau - Cheap flights

If you have an opportunity, go to Nassau on the turn of the year. Twice per year – on 26th December and on 1st January – there is taking place Junkanoo, a huge parade in the city’s centre, whose members dance to the rhythm played out on drums and cow’s bells. The festival probably originates from dances conducted a few centuries ago by local slaves working on plantations. They have aforementioned days free, so they were celebrating by dancing, playing music, getting dressed up in colourful costumes.

Make sure to go to Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. This first in the world land-water park still has the opinion of one of the best ones. You can rent there canoe and go for a trip through coral reef, during which you can observe unique underwater life.

Nassau has also something for history lovers. Step by Fort Charlotte, east of the port near Clifford Park. The building is from 1780. Preserved are a huge ditch, cannons, from which intruders were shot at, hidden passages between rooms and dark dungeons. Entrance is free.

Another worth visiting place is distillery, where John Watling rum is made. It is served in every bar in Nassay, as it is made in of local houses. The building on the hill has 200 years. Guests are greeted by sample of piña colada. Sightseeing takes no longer than 15 minutes but is for free. In the end you can try in local bar three types of rum, order piña colada and buy products in a shop.
