Sri Lanka has fascinated travelers for hundreds of years. Marco Polo wrote that he thought it was the most beautiful island he had ever visited. Here, warm winds from the Indian Ocean blow over the most beautiful beaches, and the inner parts of this large island hide in beautiful nature with wild jungle, where large flocks of elephants, leopards and rare birds live. Here are also high mountains, manicured tea plantations and much much more to discover. Sri Lanka also hides an ancient culture, which can be seen in the form of ancient monuments and abandoned villages.
