Netherlands Antilles Summary

Netherlands Antilles Travel Guide

Despite a fascinating colonial history, Statia, as everyone knows the little island of ST EUSTATIUS, is now a tropical but slightly forlorn outpost of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Once a proud and wealthy “entrepôt” or trading post between South America and Europe, the money and people have slipped away, leaving a historical curiosity that makes for an interesting day trip from St Maarten.\n\n As with nearby Saba, the main drawback for those contemplating a trip is the expense and awkwardness of getting there. Those who make the effort will find that they have left the tourists behind for a tranquil and friendly spot, with good diving and hiking opportunities.
