The holidays in our Orient section were previously operated by Magic of the Orient, which has now joined with its sister company Trips Worldwide.
SOUTH
Galle Fort
The port town of Galle is Sri Lanka's fourth biggest town with 80,000 people. The history of Galle dates back to 1505 when a Portuguese fleet bound for Maldives was blown off course and took shelter in the Galle Harbour. This arrival drastically changed the course of Sri Lankan history. In 1598, the Portuguese built a small fort which was later extended. However, when the Dutch took over in 1640, they destroyed all traces of the Portuguese presence. In 1663, the Dutch built the 36-hectare Fort, which is now a World Heritage Site.
Hikkaduwa
The Hikkaduwa surfing and diving scene is popular with the
tourists because of its atmosphere. There are also a large number of beach restaurants, bars and shops.
