Nausori
Skip Nausori as a destination: it is a commuter town for Suva with one airport and a Saturday market. Use it only to fly into Suva or as a 1-hour stop on the way to the Rewa Delta.
Nausori sits on the Rewa River, 20 km north-east of Suva. Its international airport is the secondary gateway to Fiji, but the town itself has no major sights. Most travellers pass through on the way to Suva or the Coral Coast. A Saturday morning market is the one reason to stop.
