The British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom situated in the Indian Ocean halfway between Tanzania and Indonesia. The territory comprises the seven atolls of the Chagos Archipelago with over 1,000 individual islands – many very small – amounting to a total land area of 60 square kilometres (23 sq mi).
It is one of only two British territories that drives automobiles on the right side of the road, the other being Gibraltar. This has been said to be because the territory was previously occupied by the French, but France ceded the islands to the UK long before the invention of the automobile.
This tropical paradise of beautiful beaches, it is renowned for its stunning sunsets, breathtaking scenery, awesome surf, and pristine rain forests.
Our Mediterranean cruise fabulous!
When I called Kingsbridge Travel I had so many questions. I had looked online and got so confused with all the reviews of different ships and cruise lines. Diane took the time to find out where we had been before and what kind of activities we like. She chose a ship that wasn't on our radar and took the time to book the best location for us. She also recommended a tour of Akrotiri in Santonini that was one of the highlights of our vacation.
