The beach also offers tremendous options for exciting activities such as parasailing, yachting and windsurfing, which can be enjoyed on a direct payment basis. Fort Aguada, Goa– Albeit Fort Aguada presently serves as the Central Jail, it has witnessed numerous historical battles and episodes which have directly impacted the fort itself. Built in 1609-12, it's the largest and the best preserved bastion in Goa. It was built with the intention of protecting Old Goa from external enemy attacks. You can also enjoy water sports at Baga / Calangute Beach. Then there is the Vagator Beach, which boasts a lovely silver sandy stretch with enormous red cliffs overlooking it.

The entire town comes alive with the enthusiastic calls of vendors showcasing their goods, with the dusty pavements lined with colorful stacks of fresh fruit and spices. Located in close proximity to Mapusa about 12km from Panaji is the Shri Bodgeshwar Temple. The temple, located in a lush green environment, is home to a small shrine dedicated to Kanakeshwar Baba or Bodgeshwar, locally known as Bongini. Bodgeshwar, who is also known as "Angavani", stands for the one in whose name vows are made and who fulfills the desires of the devotees. The people here hold a belief that all their prayers and wishes will be fulfilled. This is also the reason why thousands of devotees are attracted to this temple. Return to the resort for an overnight stay.

Enjoy your breakfast, and then proceed towards South Goa for sightseeing. Se Cathedral Church: This religious shrine, which is one of the most ancient and famous buildings in all of Goa, is dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria. Commissioned in the year 1631, the construction of this building took more than 62 years. Basilica de Bom Jesus: Constructed in 1605, the Basilica is one of the foremost attractions of Goa. It's famous for containing the tomb and mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier, who is believed to be one of the patron saints of Goa by the Catholics.
