Apia, the capital of the Independent State of Samoa, is located on the north coast of Upolu Island in the southern Pacific Ocean and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. Known for its tropical and laid-back atmosphere, the port city has a natural harbor and is an important gateway for Samoa's foreign trade. The city's mix of colonial architecture and modern amenities, such as historic churches, traditional markets (such as the Malai Market), and waterfront walkways, showcases a unique blend of Samoan and Polynesian cultures. Surrounded by turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and lush coconut groves, Apia is an ideal starting point for experiencing traditional kava ceremonies and visiting local villages such as the Savaii Island Cultural Village. Fishing and tourism are the backbone of the city's economy, attracting many tourists year after year to explore its natural and human charms.
