📍 Destination Overview
Levuka, on Fiji's Ovalau Island, is the country's first colonial capital and a UNESCO site. Founded in the 1820s by European whalers, it was Fiji's capital from 1870. Its waterfront main street is lined with 19th-century colonial buildings, a post office, and churches, preserving an early Pacific colonial town, making it the Pacific's most authentic colonial heritage.
