Maumere

Maumere is the largest town on Flores Island and a great base from which to explore the myriad of small weaving villages located outside the town. A lot of these villages are employed in the art of weaving the traditional ikat cloth, a traditional export from the Island. Maumere is small enough to cover on foot, however you will probably receive endless offers for rides from motorcycle taxis and bemo minivans. The harbour seafront is a great place to enjoy traditional Indonesian food and there are some pretty beaches not too far away.
