Discover the Goree Island Posted December 22, 2014

Catching paradise! Moored in the azure blue of the Atlantic, Goree Island is located 3 km off Dakar (20 min boat ) .

Enter a veritable haven.

UNESCO site , this piece of land the size of a handkerchief ( from north to south 900m ! ) With delicious Mediterranean accents : sandy alleyways string of houses with ocher facades , hibiscus and bougainvillea escaping from gardens surrounding planted with palm trees and baobab trees , white sand cove lined with clear water …

Throughout the ride , we revise a piece of history from Africa to the House of Slaves and the breathtaking panorama at the top of Castel, a peak basalt hill 30m whose path is lined with artists paintings of the island. At night , we savor the tranquility found comfort on the panoramic terrace of our Hotel .
