Gili Islands
The islands are a popular destination for Western tourists.  Each island has several small resorts, usually consisting of a small collection of huts for tourists, and a restaurant.  Most local inhabitants live in the hilly interior of the islands.  Automobiles and motorized traffic are not allowed on the islands by local law. Bicycles or the horse-drawn carriages called a cidomo are common transportation on the islands. Scuba diving in and around the Gilis is also popular. The name Gili simply means "small island" in the local Sasak language.
