Since I wanted to see many different places during my Zanzibar holiday, I preferred Stone Town, where the transportation network is the busiest.. Located on the west side of the island, Stone Town is the center of Zanzibar.. Ferries dock here. The airport is also close to this area.. In terms of transportation, there are cheap solutions to all parts of the island from here.
By the way, when choosing a hotel in the region, I do not recommend you to look for a hotel in the Malindi region near the ferry port.. Honestly, I didn’t feel very safe there at night.. There was no danger that I saw with my own eyes, but my suggestion would be to look at the places inside the historical stone city.
My Advice to Zanzibar Hostel

But I managed to overcome this obstacle With the support of Ezgi and Hayri, who settled on the island and established a charity here under the name Volunteer Universal, with the support of 20 thousand shillings per night (35 TL or 9 dollars, but when you pay in dollars, they ask for 10 dollars) I stayed in a hostel.
