The Perfumed Island

Our flights from/to Comoros: Time table

Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli are three of the four islands that make up the archipelago of the Comores. Between the three of them, they form the union of the Comores, a former French colony, independent since 1975. The three islands, all of volcanic origin, with Karthala on Grande Comore still active, developed separately but cannot deny their kinship.

Their plantations of perfume plants and spices date back to the colonial era. The air is filled with scents of clove, ylang-ylang, vanilla, coffee and cinnamon. Although the islands are not yet easily accessible to the international tourist, they harbour amazing nature treasures. Grand Comore has magnificent beaches, Moheli exceptional seabeds and Anjouan luxuriant verdant mountains. It is off these timeless islands that a coelacanth is sometimes captured. This pre-historic fish that fascinates the scientists.
