You Explore your hotel, sit near the pool side or peep through your room window and spectacle the beauty. Try Goa Feni in the evening, an intoxicating drink. Feni can be made from cashew and coconut. of sea food. Since Goa was once inhabited by Portuguese, you will find a strong influence of Portuguese style of cooking in Goa cuisine Sleep tight and have lots of fun. Palolem beach Next morning, you can book your half day tour to Old and New Goa. Since this is your beach tour, you can explore the fascinating aspects of beaches. Beaches ate considered life line of Goa. They are the most attractive part of Goa and tourist's come to Goa in order to explore this fascinating zone of Goa. The popularity of beaches in Goa is due to number of reasons. Shopping, night life and living up the wee hrs makes Goa beaches most wanted on Goa itinerary. If you want to chill out in peace and solitude, then look for the natural beauty and avoid crowds. Beaches of Goa are divided into two zones - North Goa and South Goa. North Goa comprises of beaches Anjuna beaches, Candolim beach, Dona Paula beach, Miramar beach, Baga beach, Sinquerim beach and Vagator beach. The Northern beach retain its charm because they manage behind the makeup to remain the sea side villages they originally were, their traditional alive and intact. Northern beaches are paradise, a stretch that offers everything and more that a traveller's heart desires. Adventure on oceans, lively bars, night markets, quiet beaches and throbbing night life differs North Goa beaches from others. While exploring the Northern Goa beaches, you cannot miss Anjuna flea market on Anjuna beach. This flea market is held on Wednesday every week. People just cannot resist this flea market . Known for showcasing an array of products, Flea market gives a ground to local shopkeepers and craftsman to sell their product. In South Goa, we have beaches like Colva beach, Benaulim beach, Bogmolo beach, Varca beach and Agonda Beach. Unlike Northern Goa, South Goa beaches are quite relaxing and are peaceful. Try out Ayurvedic massage in any one of the beach in Goa. Ayurvedic massage moisturizes your body and make it more flexible. The massage techniques provide relaxation, circulation and elimination of toxins while the cool breeze from the beach soothes your body and mind. Mandovi river cruise is scheduled for three time in a day, sunset and moonlight. There are different type of river cruises namely Dolphin Fantasy, Pearl of the Orient and Backwater Thrills. Just sail through river Mandovi and experience the ecstasy of being in nature. Through boat cruise, you can have a look at the exotic birds life and the crocodiles that usually surrounds the city. Adventure sports On the last day, you will not be doing any thing in particular. All you will be enrolled in is total fun. Just try out some adventure sports in Goa on the nearest beach. Some of the adventure sports that you can fill on your beach tour are Windsurfing, Parasailing, Speed boats and Scuba Diving. Choose the one that interest you the most . Be it any, adventure sports in Goa are far seeking and almost every body loves to try them once. You can also try Volley ball on the beach as it will give you a perfect time pass. still lots to see but have not got that much time so just a good time to scroll arround some more places.. cheers up ali |

Well, I would suggest that you get to Candolim beach with a book and just lie there for 5 days!!!
The do-not-miss is the tour of Old Goa. and if possible of old houses. Gouthami |
