Matara Stories

This 'head of Dondra' has plenty of spice hidden among its paved paths. Praised by the ocean and greeted by the bobbing boats docked at the ferry, Matara beckons from the South-most point of Sri Lanka. Today the place still embodies the spirit of its turbulent history. Its quiet streets teeming with traces from the past hidden in crumbling structures, age-old names and forgotten tragedies.
