5 days in Goa Itinerary

On India's western coastline, the former Portuguese colony of Goa tells a visibly different story than the rest of India.

Shop till you drop at Sheek Emporium and Shamrock Jewellers. Relax by the water at Agonda Beach and Palolem Beach. There's much more to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, hunt for treasures at Margao Market, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Shanta Durga Temple, and look for gifts at Literati Bookshop & Cafe.
