Socotra, sometimes known as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean, resembles a fantasy film set with its pink rocks, chubby Desert Roses and Dragon’s Blood trees like giant mushrooms. Barely larger than Cornwall and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, this stunningly beautiful island combines otherworldly landscapes with a host of unique fauna and flora. Hilary and Janice visited the island just before the first Covid-induced lockdown, and spent their early incarceration happily writing its only English-language guidebook the Bradt Guide to Socotra.
