SRI LANKA'S FERTILE PENINSULA
Jaffna has been inaccessible for years because of the civil war. Fortunately, this time is over, now it is a unique, vibrant city in northern Sri Lanka. A trip to the fertile peninsula offers you a glimpse into a world not affected by tourists. Despite indian influences, the city has created its own unique identity with historical sites such as the Jaffna Fort,the Royal Palace and the huge Hindu temple Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil. In Jaffna you will also find impressive churches, picturesque streets and squares and colonial suburbs.
From Jaffna you have a breathtaking view of the Jaffna Islands; sparsely populated, white sandy beaches, a shimmering blue sea with palm trees swaying around it. The pristine islands are accessible by boat and by dike from Jaffna. The islands are not only a good alternative for rest seekers, they also offer various possibilities for spotting tropical birds. Are you going to the "end of the world"? Where the world can't find you...
