Eleuthera is many things to many people. For some, it is the multi-colored waters that surround the island.

Some like to chow with the islanders at the friday night fish fry, and for the revelers, party at Elvina's in Gregory Town till the wee hours of the morning. But for most who make the trip to Eleuthera, the island of freedom, they come for its peace and serenity -- that feeling of being far removed from the rest of the world.
