Viti Levu has the capital, Suva, and International Airport town of Nadi and has 70% of the population. Apart from Taveuni in the North and Kadavu in the South, the rest of Fiji's islands are very small, some just tiny coral atolls, and spread out amongst 3 main island groups - Lomaiviti and Lau in the East, the most eastern of which are closer to Tonga than Viti Levu, and the Yasawas (including Mamanuca) in the West.
The northern island of Rotuma is seldom visited and is home to an indigenous Polynesian community, as opposed to the Melanesian Fijians.
Women from the island of Kabara perform a distinctly Lauan sitting Meke. Lauans are closely related to the Polynesians of Tonga.
Levuka Town, the old capital of Fiji until 1882 when the capital moved to Suva. Levuka retains many aspects of its colonial past.
