Discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1498, the island of Grenada is a picturesque, mountainous region that is made up of three Grenada holiday islands situated 100 miles north of Venezuela. The varied environment across Grenada ensures there is plenty to see and do, from the rolling volcanic hills to the lush tropical rainforest. A Grenada holiday is partly characterised by spectacularly beautiful, unspoilt beaches, where you can simply laze away the days in paradise, before savouring the superb spicy local cuisine at night. The capital of St George’s played host to the 2007 Cricket World Cup, and the sport is hugely popular on these shores.
