To meet the heightened interest, we will organize six additional tours with direct flights to the island for Lithuanian travellers in February and March.” 

“We see that this destination fully meets the needs of Lithuanian travellers – it is affordable destination, 9+1 days travel package for two starts from around €1000 per person, covering the flight and hotel. Also, it offers completely new exotic experience, and is easily accessible - with the direct flight. Moreover, the high season with summer-like weather is currently present in Sri Lanka's west and south coasts, making it ideal for beach holidays and exploration, with air temperatures ranging from 25-29 degrees and water temperatures around 26-29 degrees,” highlights S.Saikovskaja.
