Ambon

Once a location of civil unrest in between \'99 - 2002, the city of Ambon has looked past its violent history and grown into a promising travel destination. As the provincial capital of Maluku, it may lack the ambiance of a major city, but retains a laid back charm with a number of perfect beaches and lush mountainous backdrop. Ambon is a gateway to some of Indonesia\'s most beautiful yet utterly undiscovered gems, the Lease, Banda and Kei Islands.
