Matara
The peaceful city of Matara, located in the southern coast of the island is one of the best places to witness a relatively more laid back atmosphere when compared to its Galle and Hikkaduwa counterparts, which makes it a perfect destination to experience tropical Sri Lankan without the crowds of tourism. Moreover, Matara, like any other southern coastal city, is also known for its diverse landscapes, as it is home to several cultures, and interesting colonial monuments.
