It was settled in 1648 by the Eleutheran Adventurers – a band of English Puritans who left Bermuda in search of religious freedom. They named the island Eleuthera, which means Freedom (Eleftheria in Greek). The Adventurers founded what was probably the first democracy in the western world. Eleuthera is over 100 miles long and has lots of gorgeous pink and white sandy beaches, mainly on the ocean (east) side of the island. Numerous settlements dot the island and two offshore islands –Spanish Wells and Harbour Island - lie off the northern end. Governor’s Harbour is considered the middle of the island and has the largest population. It houses the government administrative centre. The Governor’s Harbour airport is approximately eight miles north and has numerous flights to Nassau and South Florida. Presently there is a large amount of construction in Governor’s and the settlements to the north and south.
