East Timor Travel Guide

East Timor can be reached fairly easyly by flight from Australia or via Indonesian airlines startiing out at Denpasar/ Bali.

The island offers a mélange of Portuguese colonial remnants, a laid-back atmosphere and some very nice beaches.

East Timor (a former Portuguese colony), is nowadays called "Timor Leste".

Dili, the capital of Timor Leste, is a pleasant, laid-back little town with a number of good restaurants and hotels. There are nice beaches all around the capital, and more further away.

Dili is also the starting point to an unspoiled snorkelling and diving experience at the nearby island of Atauro.
