Antigua (St John's) Cruise Guide
Easy-going Antigua offers numerous colourful fruit markets of papaya, coconut and pineapple on a landscape rich in the history of colonisation, slavery and the sugar trade. Former plantations remain dotted with the remnants of old stone cane-processing windmills from the era of sugar cultivation while a fine maritime heritage boasts links to Horatio Nelson, a legacy of Antigua's role as a strategic colonial shipping hub.
