I will not tell you about the Kms and the Location , rather i will tell you what you should do an dhow would you feel......yes, afterall its about sharing the experience!!!

My Experience with Goa was in October 2006 with my family. Its a place where you can anjoy alone or with your family or when you are on Honeymoon. Means its a complete package.

The main highlights of the place are the BEACHES, which are spread all around in the State. There are numerous beaches and some which deserve worth mention are :
Vagator
Palolem
Candolim
Baga
Ajanta

I would suggest that avaoid the rush at the Candolim and Vagator, which are not-so-clean, and enjoy the lovely beauty at the Palolem Beach.

If you are a Water - Sport savvy then you will like the Beach near to the Taj resort. The Para-Gliding will make your nerves full with excitement.

I am a person who loves water so i really enjoyed this place and with Liquor available more than water there, it was a heaven for me.

If you really want to enjoy real beauty of the Beaches, take a cottage along the Beach shore and lie down on a armchair facing the beach with a drink in yuor hand. The xeperience is mesmerising.

Goa is not just about Beaches, it has lot of Indian Traditional Temples. A village known as 'Mangeshi' , where the singing legend, Lata Mangeshkar was born has a temple called 'Mangeshi temple' which has lot of followers.

There are lots of Churches and the most piopular one is the Old Goa Church where a 200 year old mummy of the Pope is placed.

Best way to travel through Gioa is to hire a good Cab and roam in a planned manner from one beach to other exploring all the points that come in between.

You do nto need tocheck out a Travel book for seeing the points, the Cab drivers are generally borna and brought up there so they know more then what gudes would tell you.

One thign i will warn you is not to go on the Cruises that promise to be exciting and are in real sense a BUll-Shit !! .......the other option on this i will suggest you is the Floating Casio which is indeed a Great Place.

I must conclude saying that its a LOVELY Place !!!!
