Why love Sri Lanka? Yes, for everything! For a mixture of religions and cultures, for ancient temples, rich wildlife, for the best places to surf and, of course, for lovely and sympathetic people. Now the country is more developed and revived after decades of civil conflict and at the same time remained hospitable and friendly. If previously the north and east of Sri Lanka were inaccessible, now it open for everyone. The island is perfect for family lovers, adrenaline hunters, eco-and gastro tourists.
