Cheap Hotels, Holidays & Flights to Goa

Are you looking for cheap holidays to Goa? You have come to the right place.

Liberated from 400 years of Portuguese rule in 1961, Goa is the mecca for so many visitors looking to enjoy a relaxing winter break. Situated just off the western coast of India, Goa has more to offer than just The Beach. In fact, many of the island?s best attractions are hidden inland away from the beaches.

Without doubt, however, most people come to Goa to experience those famous sandy shores. Calangute, Vagator and Anjuna (with its flea market) are amongst the most familiar but try Palolem too, a less visited beach not widely known by most tourists. If you need a break from sunbathing take a trip to the capital Panaji, situated 30km from the airport. The old Portuguese capital, Old Goa was known as the ?Rome of the East? by its former rulers and is a must for anybody wanting to experience the true history of the island. For travelling around Goa you should use the Corporation bus service that runs to all major destinations. The private buses are overcrowded, noisy and run to a schedule nobody knows but they are an experience, give them a go. Also try one of the many river cruises on offer for a relaxing end to a relaxing day.

A final important point, the Indian Rupee can only be bought locally and also cannot be taken out of the country, so take Sterling or US Dollars and spend all your cash before you leave!
