Some Good To Knows About NEVIS:

Nevis is one of the Leeward Islands and lies about 200 miles south of Puerto Rico. Nevis is slightly elongated, 7 miles long and 5 miles wide with an area of 36 sq. miles. The Nevis Peak is an extinct volcano and has the elevation of 3,232 ft.

About 10,000 people live in Nevis, West Indies. Most of the population is of African descent. The official language is English. Nevis is relatively prosperous, with a literacy rate exceeding 97% and an average life expectancy of over 67 years.

The capital of Nevis is Charlestown. The official currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (EC). This is tied to the US dollar at the rate of US$ 1 = EC$ 2.66. US dollars are accepted everywhere in Nevis. There are many ATMS around town and Credit cards are accepted widely, including some grocery stores.

If you just can’t get away from your daily email… Cable or wireless Internet access is available at the many beautiful Nevis Hotels, Nevis Resorts and Nevis Villas.

Driving is on the left side of the Road.

You can rent a car, jeep or mountain bikes in Nevis if you want to drive yourself, or you can just cab it.

This Lil’ Piggy went to Charlestown Market!

It’s a wee bit hard to find, but cab driver’s will know the way, as will the friendly locals. The Charlestown Market is located between the waterfront and the main road down a small side street in Charlestown. It’s not at all impossible to find on your own either.

On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays the Market fills up with fresh produce, crafty island goods and friendly locals. Farmers and vendors come into town to sell their home-grown and home-made items.

Wether you are strolling through intending to buy or not, it’s an interesting delight to witness a market style way of sale. This was a new custom to see as I went on my first Nevis Vacation.

On the side of the Market, often times there are thrift-store-type items on sale, from which the proceeds go to one of the Nevis non-profit organizations. Here you can purchase some fun island knick-knacks to take back home with you for keep-sakes.

Oh and remember… If you want to take a picture or two of the goods or locals while on a Market stroll, be sure to ask permission… Simply out of Respect

At the Market you can see home-grown Caribbean vegetables and fruits, some varieties of which are unfamiliar and exotic to European and American visitors.

Check out some new, flavorful Caribbean Cuisines you can add to your household menu! Some of these fun dishes include:

Escoveitched Fish
Callaloo Soup
Lentil Soup
Rice and peas
Pigeon peas soup
Calypso Rice
Ital Omelette
Cornmeal Porridge
Banana Porridge
Chocolate Cake
Carrot Cake
Black Cake
Saltfish Cake
Pound Cake
Sugar cake

So kick back, enjoy a new Caribbean dish and rest up for another Fun-filled Day In NEVIS! Check out the Amazing Nevis Hotels, Nevis Resorts and Nevis Villas where you can enjoy your stay in Nevis, West Indies.

One word of advice… No Need To Over Pack!

Moderate year-round tropical weather means packing lightly when traveling to Nevis.

Try not to over pack for this island adventure. On a Nevis Vacation, the less baggage, the better.

Comfy, light clothing is best suited to conditions on both islands of Nevis and St. Kitts. With an average temperature around 79 degrees fahrenheit, there is no need to bring more than needed.

Weather is dry and mild from November to April, so cool fabrics, especially light cottons, are usually most comfortable to wear during your stay. White linen is one of my favorites to wear while strolling on one of the beautiful Nevis Beaches.

From May to October, the islands experience extra rainfall and temperatures rise slightly. It’s not a bad idea to pack an umbrella and proper rain attire if visiting Nevis during this time of year.

Hurricane season occurs in August usually as a small side note. Not to worry though… Nevis island is always well aware of and prepared for any storm heading it’s way.

The standard attitude toward clothing and style of dress on the islands is comfortable and casual, informal but conservative. I have heard that some people have thought Nevis to be a nude island! Definitely not!

For your own sake, DO NOT get caught baring all on the beach. It’s not a nude island so leave your birthday suit at home.

Visiting the Shops On Nevis Island? Bare chests and skimpy clothing are generally frowned upon while visiting shops and restaurants and even while walking the streets of St. Kitts and Nevis. As the phrase states… NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO SERVICE. Respectable coversome clothing is appreciated.

Spending your leisure time on the Nevis Beaches? Put on your sexy swimsuits, short shorts, and other swim wear. Just rememberto cover up if hitting the town afterward.
