There are a thousand good reasons for spending your
holidays in this paradise. On top of the list: the emerald color sea (28
- 30 ° C), coconut leaves swaying in the light breeze, cultural heritage
whereever you look and the most beautiful combination of landscapes.
You find many historic and ancient buildings on the island. The old temple
cities are as worth visiting as the remnants of the colonial times, when
the Dutch, the Portugies or the British ruled the island.
And don't forget the many wonderful diving areas.

Sri Lanka is worth traveling to, and this fantastic
country still is comparatively cheap.
