Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a day to explore the quieter beaches of Palolem and Agonda in South Goa for a balanced experience. To shorten the itinerary, skip the dolphin cruise and the Saturday Night Market, focusing on the main forts and beaches, which will still give you a rich taste of North Goa in just three days.
