Goa and Diu – Idyllic Beach Destinations in India

Diu is an island off the coast of Gujarat and was a former colony of the Portuguese.  It’s a splendidly beautiful holiday destination and definitely not crowded like the most of them. A small coy stretch of serene land surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters on around, the beauty of Diu will completely bowl you over. You can enjoy a dip in the cool waters, go swimming, lie back on the sand, rest on the hammock reading a book, sip on a cocktail or get about moving, discovering all what Diu tourism has on offer. Some of the places worth checking out here are the Nagoa Beach, Ghoghla Beach, Ganeshwar Temple, St. Paul’s Church, Diu Fort, Jallandar Shrine, Gomtimata Beach and more. The period between October and May is the best time to take a tour to Diu and the hotels here cater to the needs of all kinds of travelers.

Goa on the other hand is a perfect paradise of a place for people who love the outdoors and the warm, sunny and cozy weather. Parties, nature, beaches, clear waters, water sports, sand, sun, cocktails and a laid back weather – all of these make Goa a fantastic beach holiday destination. Arambol, Baga, Vagator, Agonda, Anjuna, etc. are the popular beaches. There are many Goa tourist places, especially places worth checking out around old Goa, which has the Portuguese world charm to it, even today. These are some tourist places in Goa where you will find a lot of cathedrals and other various buildings of historic importance. Go shopping at the Anjuna Flea market on Wednesdays and at Arpora on Saturday nights.

Get the best out of your beach getaway and set out exploring Diu and Goa.

  1. Very informative post. Diu, located on the outskirts of Gujarat, is one of the oldest Portuguese colonies of the world. Known for being one of the least populated districts of India, it is also a major fishing town popular for the delectable sea food. Nargoa beach and the lighthouse located there are two of the most famous tourist attractions which are frequented by large numbers of tourists. Check out all best hotels in diu also.
