gold rule of life." For this blog, we will write about the capital of the world's smallest island country. Some of you already guessed, of course, it is Yaren! It is the unofficial
capital of Nauru, which is only 8 square miles wide. Solomon Islands, Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, Federated States of Micronesia are neighbors of
Nauru. The nation of the island is mixed with Micronesian, Polynesian, and Melanesian. The people who live here came from South Asia and Taiwan in 1500 BC.
Where is Yaren City?
Yaren is the city of the Micronesian country. It is located on a coral island. The climate of the country is humid and hot. The average annual temperature of the country is 28 C degrees. Often droughts occur during the year. From November to February, it's the wettest season of Nauru. Coconut palms, ficus, laurels, and pandanuses are parts of the natural vegetation of the island. Nauru's fauna is so poor that there are only lizards, rats, many insects, and birds in the country. Once upon a time, this island was called
Pleasant Island. If you want to decide to fly to Yaren district, you should know about something. Don't believe some fake stories that "
this island is the most remote country in the world." However, there are two flights per week. We should warn you: getting a visa is not that easy.
Yaren district is not officially a capital, but every government building is situated here.

10. Abwan Gift Shop
We said that pictures are part of memories, but you could get a souvenir as a memory for yourself or as a gift when you travel. Gifts are the memories that you give to others. Suppose you want to buy souvenirs or assistance from the island. In that case, there are only three places—the post office in Aiwo, the souvenir section of
Capelle & Partner Supermarket, Abwan gift-shop. In the post office in Aiwo is sold stamps and postcards. In the Capelle & Partner Supermarket has a sweet souvenir section.
It is located in Ewa Beach in Northern Nauru. Only some snacks, drinks, and St. AFL stickers are sold in the Abwan gift-shop.
11. Ma-Vari Restaurant
There are no good restaurants in the centre of Yaren city. There are only a few family restaurants as Ma-Vari restaurant which is one of the
Yaren cafes. Ice tea, iced coffee, food, and yoghurt are sold there. Food selection is lacking. If you want to eat food better than other foods from Yaren, you have to go to the Bay Restaurant or
Hotel Menen.
12. Nauru International Airport
This airport is different from other airports by its appearance. Its construction is simple and cozy. As we said, there is not a good restaurant there, but tourists want to eat some food. It is hard to find an ATM machine on the island; because there is only one ATM, which is the airport. Do not forget about taking cash with you while
traveling Nauru. Foods are not cheap because all of the food is coming from Australia.
