Kosrae: Attractions and more...
When in Kosrae, be sure to visit the Lelu ruins. These are the remnants of an ancient settlement and include high walls, houses, roads and graves, mostly constructed with slabs of basalt.
A hike up Mt. Finakol is a challenging yet exciting experience. Diving is also a popular tourist activity since the waters of Kosrae are home to a breathtaking array of marine species.
