Goa is somewhat of an oddity in India given that it was a Portuguese colony until 1961. India's smallest state is situated halfway down the west coast and it has a different feel to the rest of this fascinating country. In recent decades Goa developed a reputation for a hippy party culture that has only recently been overshadowed by a range of other attractions more suited to those with a less wild taste in holidays. Goa is now renowned as a beach holiday destination and its 25 miles of golden sand rival many more established destinations.

Goa holiday makers can stay in one of five main resorts, Anjuna, Calangute Beach, Baga Beach, Colvo or Palolem. The actual town of Old Goa was once the state capital and a city of great splendour with hundreds of thousands of residents, but is now virtually abandoned. However, while those on holiday in Goa wouldn't stay there, Old Goa remains the state's most notable cultural attraction and has been designated a UNESCO world heritage site. Perhaps you could hire a car at the airport to see the cultural attractions as well as the beaches.
Other visitor attractions include the Anjuna Flea Market which has developed into a huge shopping adventure where traders from all over India come to sell their goods. The market is a weekly event on a Wednesday. Those looking for non-beach activities on their Goa holiday might also choose to visit Panaji which is the state capital. The town retains many of the features of a small Portuguese colonial settlement with many architectural treasures dating back centuries.
As with many destinations around the world in recent decades the advent of charter flights has made cheap Goa holidays a reality for mainstream visitors from the UK rather than just for the intrepid travellers who stop off there on backpacking tours of India. The large variety of cheap Goa holiday accommodation means that the cost of a two week trip is only marginally more than one week.
