Known as the ‘Pearl of the East Coast’, A former Portuguese colony, Goa is a unique mix of Indian and Portuguese cultures, seen in its baroque style architecture, its food and the arts.
Owing to short travel distances and an assortment of activities (far away from its umpteen beaches), Goa is a great option for a family friendly vacation.
These four days simmer down to the Goan pace of life, ride a boogie board, watch for dolphins, simply splash around and catch a spectacular sunset at the beach. Explore forts offering mesmerizing views of the palm fringed coast, take in the colonial influence while strolling along the cobble stoned streets of Old Goa and Panjim, ride the backwaters of the River Mandovi , and dig in to some delectable local cusine.
