About Mauritius

Mauritius, an island nation located in the Indian Ocean, lies to the east of Madagascar. The country, first seen on Arab maps in history, was later discovered by Portuguese sailors. In subsequent periods, it came under the rule of the Dutch, French, and British.
While Mauritius doesn't have an official language, French and English are widely spoken in the country. The majority of the country's population, which is close to 1.3 million, resides on the main island, Mauritius Island. The second-largest island belonging to the country, Rodrigues, is approximately 600 kilometers away from Mauritius Island.
The country, with almost entirely volcanic terrain, experiences a subtropical climate throughout the year. Temperatures range from 27-30 degrees Celsius during the summer and around 14-15 degrees Celsius during the winter months. 
The seasons in Mauritius vary slightly in the north compared to the south. The winter season is from June to September, and the summer season runs from early December to the end of February. Due to climate variations, especially during the European and American winter months, Mauritius is a highly preferred destination for summer vacations. Because of its isolation from continents and other landmasses, Mauritius is home to unique plant and animal species, and you may come across different bird species.
In this predominantly immigrant-inhabited country, originating from Indian, African, and European backgrounds, Hinduism stands as the most prevalent religion. Other prevalent religions influenced by European settlers are Christianity and Islam. Mauritius offers numerous places to visit, with the capital, Port Louis, and destinations like Blue Bay, Grand Bay, and Chamarel among the top choices.
Thanks to its temperate climate, the country is suitable for visits year-round. If you plan to enjoy swimming and sunbathing, you may prefer the warmer summer months. Mauritius is a paradise for travelers with a taste for diverse cuisines. You can find delicious dishes from French, Italian, Indian, and African cuisines in the country. Additionally, this is an ideal destination for seafood enthusiasts, offering unique fish and seafood options such as spiced lobster, octopus, squid, and prawns. When visiting Mauritius, be sure not to miss trying the "Camaron," a dish featuring lobster in chili sauce, along with other flavorful and spicy culinary delights.
