On the island of Socotra off the coast of Yemen, a fisherman throws his net towards the viewer in a dramatic display of his skills. Behind him the sea stretches out to the horizon under a brilliant clear sky while in the foreground the green blue water ripples in the afternoon breeze. The image is a horizontal with the fisherman standing to the right of center leaving ample copy space.
More Goats Than People
Fishing is practically the only occupation on this island. Tourism has been slow but steady, but certainly not at levels that are impressive. There really isn't any industry on the island to speak of. There are, however, probably more goats on the island than people. Many of the roads require four wheel drive vehicles, and some of the roads are really just riverbeds and all but impassable.
Friendly People
The people of Socotra are incredibly friendly and continually welcomed us to their island. If you are looking for an adventurous vacation and to really get away from it all, Socotra is definitely worth taking a look at. Accommodations are not luxurious and for some areas camping is a must. But you will be treated to some incredible vistas, flora and fauna that can be found nowhere else (Dragon Blood Trees and Bottle Trees), and miles and miles of beautiful white sand beaches with warm tropical waters.
