SS Orestes Ship Wreck Dive Site
Tourist attraction
👍👍 AKA Tango wreck or No Name Wreck. However now it has been identified as Orestes cargo ship which was sank in 1875. This is a wonderful dive site with thriving marine life. Wreck lies 24m depth. Therefore it's not a difficult dive for a licence diver. If you plan to dive the Galle Navy Museum you can...

Sithuvili Gallery
Art gallery
👍 Beautiful art gallery along with art, craft and antique shop all situated in the same location. Expensive, but delicate pieces. Operators do not seem to care for local visitors assuming they are not affluent enough to buy from the shop. That repelled me from the place as soon as I spoke to one. Its...

😠 do not pay money to anyone. It's open for public. Some bad guys ask foreigners for money. And there is no turtle in this spot. Google should cancel this spot. But this is a good view point for sunset.

Unawatna Upper Beach
Tourist attraction
👍 Посидеть посмотреть на сансет. Поставить гоупрошку на таймлэпс снять закат. И просто глядя на волны посидеть подумать. А волны иногда тут прям ух, хлопок об камни такой будто в далеко залп салюта, мягкий басистый звук. Вдалеке еле видно огни форта Галле. Немноголюдное место но народ в кадре маячить...
