The flag of Seychelles has been adopted in 1996 and it consists of five rays expanding from the lower corner of the left part of the flag. The color sequence of the stripes is from left to right as follows: blue, yellow, red, white, and green. These colors are meant to symbolize a fresh and courageous approach of this young country towards the future. The blue color represents the sea and the sky and yellow stands for local sharp sun rays. Red symbolizes the people and their determination to work hard for the country’s future. White traditionally represents harmony and social justice and green earth and the environment. The color spectrum also contains colors of every Seychelles political party. The absence of people on many of the islands means that rare plant life has thrived throughout this Indian Ocean archipelago. Tropical life abounds below the waves too, and is best viewed by going scuba diving or snorkelling, experiences which are made all the more memorable here thanks to the crystalline seas. Seychelles is more than just a natural sanctuary, though. The country is a veritable melting pot of cultures: its inhabitants descend from African, Asian and European immigrants, who have brought their customs and traditions with them to the islands. This heady mix is particularly pleasing on the palate thanks to the archipelago’s fabulous fusion food.Seychelles ISD Calling code is +248
