A combination of culture and tropical landscapes: a place for a beach vacation in winter has been named

In winter, we are all looking for warmth, which is so lacking in the dark and frosty season. And there are places in the world where you can go on vacation right now just to enjoy the sun and heat of up to 30 degrees.

According to the Express, summer weather persists even in December in the city of Galle on the island of Sri Lanka. The location not only promises a lot of sun, but also boasts a whole treasure trove of attractions for travelers.

The main attraction is undoubtedly the historic Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is complemented by serene tropical landscapes and a picturesque old town that also deserve a visit.

Long before the Portuguese set foot on its shores in the 16th century, Galle was known as Himhatitta. It claimed to be the main port of the island. After colonization by the Portuguese, spices were traded through it. And now it retains the glory of the most beautiful coastal city in Sri Lanka with numerous locations for walking and recreation.

European and Asian influences have historically combined here. This is particularly evident in the whitewashed Dutch-style houses lining the cobblestone streets. And spices are still one of the best souvenirs to bring back from Sri Lanka.

One of the best places in Galle is Dalavella Beach, which travelers say is the best place to go. This is a beautiful part of the coast that boasts clear water and lots of turtles that you can watch endlessly. Those who are going here on vacation are advised not to forget about snorkeling equipment. In the winter months, when there are not many tourists here, enjoying the delights of a seaside vacation in Galle is especially pleasant.
