Gili Islands

When I visited Bali last year in February, I had doubts about visiting the Gili islands. In the end, I decided on Gili Air and it was incredible (white beaches, sea turtles, good food, ...). I didn't regret it for a moment! I stayed at the Flower and Fire yoga garden, a really cool place, and met wonderful people there.
