]]> Goa is the smallest state of India along the Arabian Sea. Its capital is Panaji, and it is very famous for its beer, cashew, beaches, and parties. History states that it used to be a Portuguese colony earlier due to which the Portuguese style houses or hotels can also be seen. Sea food is very famous there. It’s a place where tourists can enjoy beach, water sports, bars, cafes, local markets, casinos, forts, cruises and much more.
