Are you interested in the areas of Goa? Looking at the map of this Indian state, you can see that it is divided into two parts.
North Goa
North Goa is interesting for tourists due to the following resorts:
- Anjuna: Worth a visit to the Flea Market (shopping for souvenirs, jewelry and handicrafts) and take a photo with Portuguese colonial-style houses in the background; in the beach strip you can not only swim and sunbathe, but also spend time in the Curlie’s club. As for the best club in Anjuna, this is Paradiso (there are the best DJs here; the entrance ticket to the party costs $ 5-10).
- Vagator: it is worth paying attention to the main attraction - the ruins of the Chapora fort (you can admire the remains of the defensive wall and the view of the surroundings that opens from here). In addition, Vagator has 3 beaches, the most popular of which is Small Vagator, where you can find the Nine Bar and the Shiva Carving sculpture carved into the rock.
South Goa
South Goa will delight travelers with the following resorts:
- Majorda: on its beaches (surrounded by fruit trees and coconut palms) you will be able to see crabs, sea cucumbers, sea snakes and hedgehogs, as well as engage in beach volleyball and water sports. As for the architecture of Majorda, guests will be offered to explore the Church of Our Lady (16th century; elements of Catholic and Jesuit cultures are traced) and the Temple of the Great Mother (Hindus conduct rituals here).
- Dona Paula: it is recommended to rush here for couples and surfers in love (the local beach is surrounded by rocky shores). In addition, here you will be able to enjoy music regardless of the time of day in the Lido dance hall, visit the Marine Biological Museum (famous for its collection of marine fauna and flora), see the residence of the head of the Goa government, actively spend time in the sports club (in November, guests are invited to the festival in honor of water sports), leather goods, Indian knick-knacks and other goods in shops and shops surrounding the beach area.
Where to stay for tourists
Accommodation facilities in North Goa (youth companies, trans-party lovers and supporters of budget vacations flock here) will delight tourists with good service and affordable prices, and upscale expensive hotels are concentrated in South Goa (most of them are focused on family vacations with children, so they provide everything necessary for such groups of tourists).
Interested in water sports, short courses in yoga and meditation, or a nightlife with incendiary discos (Titos, Mambo and others)? Head for hotels in Calangute.
Inexpensive accommodation facilities can also be found in Arambol - within walking distance there are all kinds of shops, beach restaurants with Wi-Fi and yoga centers.
Interested in fashionable vacation spots? Pay attention to Aguada - there is an interesting complex of villas and bungalows “Taj Holiday Village”.
