In the morning: visit Weligama and Galle

Along the way, you can visit Weligama and observe these famous fishermen’s arts. You can also visit the Portuguese Fort of Galle, a city located in the southwest of Sri Lanka, 119 km far from Colombo. It is believed that the present city of Galle was the port of ancient Tharsis, where the Hebrew King Solomon used to send people so that they could get the ivory and peacocks the Bible talks about.

The city of Galle was known as Gimhathiththa (previously called Qali) before the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century, when it was the main port of the island of Ceylon. Galle had its apogee in the 18th century, before the arrival of the British, who enhanced the development of Colombo.
