Product Description

Book Description

Situated directly southeast of The Bahamas and only 575 miles from Miami, the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) comprise the islands of Salt Cay, Grand Turk, South Caicos, Middle Caicos, East Caicos, North Caicos, Providenciales and West Caicos as well as over 20 smaller islands and Cays. With a population of only 15,000 living on six of the main islands, there are also numerous uninhabited cays to explore in this fascinating and largely unspoilt archipelago.

The TCI are a British Overseas Territory with its administrative capital in Grand Turk, although nowadays the vast majority of visitors come to Providenciales, or Provo as it is known.

Clear turquoise waters, extensive coral reefs and the vast number of islands make TCI one of the worlds leading dive destinations, whilst also containing some very exclusive resorts.

This third edition of the ever popular guidebook has been updated to reflect the change in visitor destinations from Grand Turk to Provo, whilst retaining the insight into the culture and history of the islands often overlooked in other guidebooks which combine TCI with The Bahamas.



About the Author

Amelia Smithers is a former resident of Grand Turk and for several years worked for the Islands local newspaper, Turks and Caicos Weekly News. She now lives in Switzerland.

Anthony Taylor moved to the Turks and Caicos Islands in 1998 where he worked for the Times of the Islands magazine, and the local newspaper, The Free Press.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good - thats about the only adjective that comes to mind, 1 Nov 2004
You know when you buy something, and when a person asks how it is, you shrug your shoulders and reply "It's good yeah". This is one of those annoyingly 'good' pieces of informative travel literature. But then, given the number of books published on the T&C, its the best out. The use of colour photos, rich history and a knowledgable narrative completes what is quite simply, a good book.
