Maldives

South of India and Sri Lanka, 26 coral islands (atolls) form a chain that resembles a pearl necklace in the middle of the ocean. Atolls were formed by the eruption of a volcano in ancient times. Islands with palm trees, as a natural barrier against the sea, form lagoons with an incredibly beautiful turquoise color of the sea and white sand, and coral reefs are home to 1100 species of fish.
The great attraction of the Maldives is that it is the lowest country in the world with an average altitude of 1.5m.
