Holidays in Galle
The golden stretches of coastline play a big part on a Galle holiday, from soaking up the sun by day, to watching the amazing stilted fishermen at sunset as they reel in their catch. Away from the beach take in the colonial sites of the town, with the Dutch Fort (UNESCO World Heritage Site) at its heart and a host of museums, temples and tea factories to visit.
