Once known as “Ceylon,” the island sat at a crossroads of the historic Silk Road, connecting East and West, and it boasts a remarkable blend of cultural heritage and lush tropical beauty. Since ancient times, visitors have been enchanted by Sri Lanka’s landscapes and culture. The famous 13th-century explorer Marco Polo admired it deeply, calling it “the most beautiful island on earth” and describing it as a true paradise.
