 The Falkland Islands are an archipelago in
the South Atlantic Ocean. There are two main
islands, East Falkland and West Falkland, as
well as 776 smaller islands. It’s located 500
km from the coast of Argentina. The Falkland
Islands are one of the most dynamic British
overseas territory. This territory is
developing day by day, especially on Export
and Tourism. With a good education
program, young intellectual islanders grow
up.
 Getting there
You can go to Falklands by
plane or by ship. This is
your choice. Do you prefer
the white clouds or the
blues of the Atlantic Ocean?
If you want to come by
plane, go to the nearest
airport, for example
Yenisehir Airport, and buy your ticket to London. In Heathrow
Airport, you must buy your ticket to Falklands, Stanley Airport.
It totally costs 1600 British Pounds. If you want to come here by
ship, your ship is waiting for you in Antalya. The luxury cruise
ship will bring you to the Stanley Port. You’ll enjoy yourself
during a month trip in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic
Ocean. The ship will pass Rhodes, Cretan and Malta nearly, so
you can see Greek and Italian people. Malta is also a resting
place. You can have fun at Italian taverns.

“What could be more Natural?”
The banner you see on the top
was made by the Falkland
Islands Tourist Board. The
Falklands are famous for its
natural beauty. Penguins, the
Striated Caracara, Southern
Giant Petrel, Red-backed
Buzzard and other species live in
the islands. They’re spectacular
species. Some species live just
in the Falklands. You’ll enjoy
nature if you go there.
 Staying There
A comfortable, natural heaven is
waiting for you! Building hotels aren’t
allowed, because it disturbs natural life.
There are little wooden houses, in fact,
shelters. Penguins doesn’t like the grey
ugly buildings. Penguins will consider
you their friend, their brother/sister.
There is no need to mobile phones,
because they will be your everything:
your family, your loyal friends… Social life is also
alive here. You can find your love of life here.
Cute Latin American girls, attractive British teens and modern
American college girls… If you’re a girl, maybe the Native islanders
or handsome Latin American boys can attract you. They all are here!
The only thing you can miss is your national traditions. But in a
natural kingdom, who cares about traditions?
Argentina’s claims
 Lyrics of the march, you’ve been
listening, in English:
• Behind their misty quilt
• we will not forget them!
• Argentine Falklands!
• cries out the wind and roars the sea.
• From those horizons
• our ensign will not be ripped either
• as its white is on the hills
• and the sea is tinted on its blue
• Absent and defeated
• under an alien banner,
• no land is more beloved
• on the whole Fatherland.
 Continue
• Who is talking here of neglect,
• of renouncement, of forgiveness?
• no land is more beloved
• on the whole Fatherland
• Do break the quilt of mist
• as a sun, ideal of ours;
• Argentine Falklands
• under an already immortal dominion!
• And facing the sun of our flag,
• pure, distinct and victorious
• shalt it shine O Fatherland!
• in your crown
• the lost Southern pearl.
 Continue
• To honor our flag,
• for the national pride,
• shalt it shine
• O Fatherland!
• in your crown
• the argentinian Southern pearl!
