The Seychelles archipelago is located in the Indian Ocean, about 1 600 kilometers from the African mainland. It consists of 32 mountainous islands (mainly made of granite). They constitute actual Seychelles.
There are also numerous smaller coral islands. These are called the Outer Islands. The islands of Seychelles are spread over a sea area of more than 450,000 km2.

This is also the political and economic center of the archipelago. It is particularly noteworthy that there is only one traffic light in the capital. Some of the rarest animal and plant species on earth live in picturesque nature.
