Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Flores has no capital city — because it's an island, not a province or administrative unit.
Flores is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, located east of Sumbawa and west of Lembata. Administratively, it's part of East Nusa Tenggara Province (Nusa Tenggara Timur — NTT), whose capital is Kupang — on the neighboring island of Timor.

Flores is divided into 8 regencies (kabupaten): West Manggarai, Manggarai, East Manggarai, Ngada, Nagekeo, Ende, Sikka, East Flores — each with its own capital (bupati seat).
