Socotra Island - Great Attractions (Yemen)

If you are one for adventurous holidays and exploring the forgotten worlds, then the Socotra Island is the best getaway vacation that you can plan with your loved ones. Belonging to Yemen, the beautiful Socotra is a vision to behold and a rarity in terms of exotic appeal. Socotra Island awaits its visitors with white pristine beaches and the lure of everything that’s holy and heavenly in its picturesque surroundings. The Socotra Island is located more than 250 miles from the Arabian Peninsula and boasts of a unique ecosystem that evolved due to its more than 30 million years of isolation from the land.

The Americans who have had the pleasure of visiting the exotic Socotra Island did so in order to study the unique way of life of the people inhabiting the place. It is said that on Socotra, the people measure time according to their own rules and their calendar has 24 months.
