Top 6 Points of Interest & Landmarks in St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis
Lush and luxuriant, the exotic tropical island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis is a romantic paradise. St. Kitts' wonderful beaches remain relatively crowd-free, and nature lovers delight in seeing lava formations, tropical forest and lagoons and underwater marvels while snorkeling or diving. Among more than 200 historical sites, former plantation homes now offer elegant accommodation. Eco-rambles, bio-tours and climbing are Nevis attractions. Rent cars or mopeds on-island and catch ferries between the two.

Shadwell Great House is one of the last standing colonial plantation houses on the island. It has such a tremendous amount of history that it is simply too much to write here. There is currently an art gallery, cafe, yoga studio, acupuncture and trigger point therapy clinic and editing studio currently in the Great House.

4th port on our cruise was Basettere, the church is one of many churches here and one of the places we visited. You are allowed to climb the tower to the roof which affords fabulous views as shown. Another Caribbean gem of an island, unfortunately we didn't make it to the beach on this occasion.

There was only 26 men that served in WW I and II from St Kitts. The monument serves as a reminder of their sacrifices during the great wars.

This place was supposedly going to be a copy of Piccadilly Circus in London... We passed it on our tour and later came back to see it again on our way back
5. Independence Square

Once the site of slave auctions and council meetings, the square exemplifies Colonial-style architecture.
Reviewed By J4747UZpaulac - Lisbon, Portugal
A local that reminds us of a sad part of human kind history:slavery. Still, a place to visit to get inside St Kitts past. Here, it was once, the slave market and all the surrounding houses had basements to keep the sick slaves apart from the healthy ones, until they were well enough to be sold.
6. Port Zante

Some cruise terminals are boring and packed with cheap gift shops giving no feel of the ambience. Port Zante is different, although there are still the mandatory shops selling jewellery which are to be avoided there is also a great variety of other shops to choose from. Equally what is so good as one can literally walk a few hundred yards from the cruise ship to be in the shopping area. Some of the shops are also high end but with sensible prices.....selling leather goods, kitchenware, clothes etc. There are also some good bars with local atmosphere......the best is right in the middle of the pedestrian area and we had a great time there, as well. We were not interested in having a meal which was a s well because most places were congregated around a food mall and this did not look great. That apart Port Zante is a great place to spend a few hours without the need to walk the extra half mile or so into Basseterre itself and is far better than many such cruise terminal adjacent shpping areas
