Admire historic : ‘laid back’ capital; the first place in Jamaica where tourists settled. Around 1880 banana exports were at their peak and departing boats full of bananas returned with tourists. They stayed on the Titchfield peninsula where you can still admire hotels in Georgian and Victorian style.
Some hotels still standing in Queenstreet: Titchfield Guesthouse, Ocean Crest Gusethouse, Holyday Home Guesthouse, Cottages of DeMontevin Hotel (1881) with the Queen Room as queen Elizabeth stayed there.

What to do In Port Antonio?
Eat the famous Devon House ‘I-scream’ at the marina, enjoy the view over Navy Island. Walk past the ruins of Folly Estate after admiring the Folly Point Lighthouse, built in 1888.
Visit the nearby arts and crafts market before ending the day with delicious local food. Ask Rappa about the possibilities for a farm tour or chill in the hills of Port Antonio at the farm bar .

Did you know? Solo female travellers feel safe in Jamaica!
(Some pictures are from a solo Jamaican trip of Sandra when she went to Kingston, Blue Mountains, Portland and Treasure Beach, spending many many week in Jamaica)
Tip no 6 of our blog about safety, crime and violence is about solo female travellers:

In general, when traveling alone or for the first time to Jamaica don’t show you don’t know anything or don’t know anyone. Just make a story up and people will not take you for a fool.�It certainly helps to know something about the geography and local lifestyle.

Traveling as a solo female through Jamaica, is perfectly possible.
With a healthy dose of friendliness and curiosity, you can go a long way. Don’t leave your common sense at home though and use your intuition like you do everywhere else. �Enjoy the attention you get and the contacts you make. Make sure your boundaries are clear. And when getting tired of all the ‘hello’s’ and the ‘how are you’s’ just politely decline the chat. On the other hand the contact is often just nice, especially out of the tourists area.

Build in security: before you leave, make sure they know where you are going; or let the next destination know what time you expect to arrive.

S*x tourism
Like some other countries, Jamaica is known for s*x tourism. Whether you come for s*x or not or unexpectedly falling in love, you should take precautions as s*xual assaults occurs in Jamaica.
So be alert and take a taxi back to the hotel late at night.

Unwanted intimacy
There have been cases where women have been harassed by staff at the resort. This is not necessarily Jamaica-related and the circumstances are unclear. However, whether you are outside or inside the resort, always remain alert but maintain your spontaneity.
