Flores (Indonesian: Pulau Flores) is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, a group of islands in the eastern half of Indonesia.Most people who go to Indonesia end up on Bali or the Gili islands. Some venture further into Lombok, Java or Sumatra. But if you’re after a bit of a new frontier, look no further than the island of Flores.Flores has a different flavour to the other islands. It’s much less developed, with just one main road running through it. As you pass through the small villages in the countryside, you’re often greeted with friendly curiosity and choruses of ‘hello mister!’.
The dominant religion is also catholic, as opposed to the mainly Hindu or Muslim islands elsewhere.
