Tahiti
Tahiti
Tahiti is the largest of the 118 islands and atolls that comprise French Polynesia and flights to Tahiti arrive into its international airport, Faa’ a. Papeete is the capital city and the commercial hub of French Polynesia. Papeete has a colourful market offering local food, hand-made crafts and souvenirs as well as a range of pearl shops, bars and restaurants. There is so much more to Tahiti than Papeete- majestic valleys, rich archaeological sites, striking volcanic peaks and a stunning turquoise lagoon.
Tahiti is an island of hidden treasures!
