Anjuna Beach:
Anjuna is one famous beach in Goa where the night is simply a long-big party. The other factor adding to its fame is the Wednesday flea market where one can buy anything from bikes to second hand goods to anything. The flea market began during the years when the hippies found Anjuna Goa as very fascinating and overstayed their trip to Goa.

Temples in Goa:
Vacations in Goa take you on a tour through the temples of Goa. These temples in Goa have been witness to the harsh Portugal rule when diktats were passed to abolish all the temples. The deities were uprooted from place to place and even worshipped at homes during that period, until they were finally ensconced at their present abodes. uring your vacations in Goa, you will discover that Saraswat temples hold much significance among the people of Goa. This temple of Goa attracts not only the Hindu crowd but Christians too pour into these temples in good numbers.

Other churches in Goa
