Review of Matara Sri Lanka MATARA
Calling Code: +94

   Matara is 160 km from Colombo and is the end of southern railway line.There is long stretch of beach for holiday makers.

Matara also has two excellent Dutch forts, the larger one contains much of old Matara including the excellent rest house which is said to be built on the site where captured elephants were corralled. The other fort, the small 1763 Star Fort, is now used as a library and has an attractive and unusual gateway.
