North Goa
This is, mostly the lively part of goa but there are plenty of away from it all hotels and resorts too. Tourism started here in the 60's with hippies, most of whom have now disappeared. Maybe they've just cut their hair. Who Knows?. It is blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.


Central Goa
It is an ideal base to explore Goa and is very near the Capital Panjim. Old Goa is a heritage of the 16th century. The Patron Saint of Goa is St. Francis Xavier. His umembalmed body can be viewed at the Basilica of Bom Jesus. The Se Cathedral has a fantastic gilt altar.There are also many interesting Hindu Temples like Mangeshi and Shanta Durga Temples


South Goa
The Quieter area of Goa with the exception of Colva beach, ideal for those who want to unwind and do nothing. The local village of Margao is a short taxi ride away for those in search of souvenirs and a little taste of Goan living. But essentially choose the South if you want to get "get away" from it all and just be pampered. However there are some bars, restaurants and those ever so popular "Beach Shacks" though they maybe a short taxi ride away.
