Κιριμπάτι

Kiribati Essentials

Kiribati’s history is anchored in the Battle of Tarawa, where the remains of Japanese coastal guns, bunkers, and memorials like the U.S. Marine Corps and NZ Coastwatchers monuments stand on Betio. Beyond these battlefields, the nation spans to the Line Islands, home to Kiritimati. This atoll features the world’s largest coral formation and specialized fishing lodges like The Villages. From the Sacred Heart Cathedral in South Tarawa to the remote reefs and local markets of London, these sites encompass the country's colonial, military, and maritime heritage.
