Nauru is the third smallest country in the world—after Vatican City and Monaco—and the smallest island nation, located in the central Pacific Ocean. With a land area of just 21 square kilometers, Nauru has no major cities or tourist resorts, making it one of the least visited countries globally. The island offers a very quiet, slow-paced experience focused on its history, local life, and rugged coastal beauty. Most travelers come here out of curiosity, to experience one of the world’s most offbeat and remote destinations.
