  St. Kitts and Nevis, Caribbean islands whose neighbors include Barbados to the south and Puerto Rico to the north, are known for their exotic beauty and tropical weather. Smaller than sister island St. Kitts, Nevis is known as the “Queen of the Caribees.”

  Charlestown, the capital city of Nevis, is the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton and the site of the oldest synagogue in the Caribbean. The island celebrates its heritage in a multi-day annual festival called Culturama, held at the same time of year as Emancipation Day (the first Monday of August), the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the British Empire.

  The Four Seasons Resort is the property that put Nevis on the map for many travelers. Additional resorts dot the island's beaches, and some former sugar plantations have been converted into charming accommodations.

  Nevis Philatelic Bureau

  • Location

  Added Oct 25, 2009 by asius1931

  A whole shop in Charlestown is dedicated to stamps that are produced by this philatelic bureau. Beautiful scenes of the island, its history, native flora and fauna, its famous visitors (like the late Princess Diana), and more design subjects are offered on the stamps. The shop also sells local postcards already stamped and ready to be sent. A visit here is worthwhile even for a non-collector, just to see what the island has produced.
