guesthouses, restaurants and shops.
Using credit/debit cards

authorisation. There is no restriction however, as to the amount of foreign
currency that you can take into the country but you must retain the exchange
receipts to be shown on departure.
Seychelles: An overview
Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 tropical islands half of which are composed
of granite while the other half are of coral. Situated in the west of the Indian
Ocean, this fascinating country is a welcoming tourist haunt. The climate is
equable but humid. The beauty of the tropical islands makes it a great tourist
attraction and a much-loved destination by holidaymakers from all over the
globe. The island centre is the hub of all tourist activity.
The cost of living is fairly low with a three-star accommodation costing you
around $60 per night while a meal would cost around $20. A bottle of wine in a
retail shop can cost between SR 90/£3.71/$5.31/Є4.22 to
SR242.25/$14.25/£10/Є11.32 while in a hotel it would be closer to
SR205.40/$12.08/£8.44/Є9.59.
