Bahamas
The Bahamas is an archipelago of about 700 islands, and most visitors arrive by plane or cruise ship to Nassau (New Providence) or Freeport (Grand Bahama). Keep in mind that there is no Uber or Lyft in the Bahamas: you use licensed taxis (agree the fare first), jitneys (local buses) or the local app HOP in Nassau. It is expensive, because almost everything is imported.
