Sokotra is a large and most famous island of the country, or rather even – an archipelago of 6 islands. Some scientists believe that Sokotra is the corner of the globe richer by animals and plant worlds, due to the fact that it separated from the mainland of Asia (Asia) hundreds of millions of years ago.
About 900 plant species grow here, and 250 of them you will not see anywhere else. 200 species of birds and 750 species of fish live on the island and in coastal waters. Most of them are endemic. It sounds fantastic, but it really is.
The southeast of the island is covered with beautiful beaches created by nature itself. Rest on them is so good that some tourists come here every year. Near the beaches, in coastal cliffs, many caves are hidden, most of which were studied only by professional divers. Divers love local places also because during dives you can see about 250 varieties of corals.
Sokotra is not only a local miracle, but also a reserve of living nature of the global significance. The natural equilibrium of the island is so fragile that even in order to get here by car, you need special resolution.
