Goa

Goa is India’s number one beach destination. As well as being famous for its soft rolling sands, it also offers pretty fishing villages, breathtaking countryside and traditional Indian culture. It also benefits from both Mediterranean and Asian influences, making it a fascinating mixture of cultures.

The coastal area is divided into two, the north is teeming with life, from spice shops and local markets to restaurants and bars. The more sedate south is less developed with fishing villages scattered along the coastline. Elsewhere, the countryside is dotted with whitewashed churches, paddy fields and tropical plantations.
