Frommer’s® Announces the Top 10.
Pauline Frommer, travel expert and Frommer’s Editor has selected her top picks for destinations near and far for great places to visit that are not yet swarmed with tourists and where bargains can still the found. Margarita Island was one of her top 10 picks and this is what she had to say about Margarita Island.
"Known for its reputation as a island getaway, Margarita, Venezuela offers the same amenities as its Caribbean neighbors: all-inclusive resorts, excellent white sand beaches, watersports, natural parks, a golf course, but all at a fraction of the price. Vacationers are benefiting from the economy’s steep decline, and often visitors can even find inexpensive scuba diving adventures. The main attraction here is the Castillo de San Carlos Borromeo, a 17th-century fort that protected the town and harbor from foreign and pirate attacks. The fort's thick stonewalls and bronze cannons still watch over the beach, harbor, and Caribbean Sea. A Must: For better bargains and a more local feel, head to El Mercado de los Conejeros. Located on the northwestern outskirts of Porlamar, it's a semi-permanent flea market of food, crafts, and dry goods."
Here is what Frommer's® has to say about Pampatar, Isla Margarita. "Pampatar, about 10km (6 miles) northeast of Porlamar, is much more picturesque and calm. Founded in 1535 around the island's most protected deep-water harbor, Pampatar still retains much of its colonial-era flavor and architecture. The main attraction here is the Castillo de San Carlos Borromeo, a 17th-century fort that protected the town and harbor from foreign and pirate attacks. The fort's thick stone walls and bronze cannons still watch over the beach, harbor, and Caribbean Sea. The fort is open Monday through Saturday; admission is free. Across from the fort, you'll find the Iglesia de Santísimo Cristo del Buen Viaje, a church of great importance to the sailors and fishermen of Margarita. Legend has it that the crucifix here was left as a last resort, when the colonial-era vessel transporting it was unable, after repeated attempts, to leave the harbor. At the eastern end of the harbor are the ruins of the Fortín de la Caranta, which offers excellent views of the town and bay."
