Begin your honeymoon by exploring the charming city of Panaji, the capital of Goa. Visit the famous 16th-century Basilica of Bom Jesus, a UNESCO World Heritage site and see the preserved remains of St. Francis Xavier. Stroll through the vibrant Fontainhas area to see the preserved Portuguese-style houses and shops, and enjoy some quality time by the calm Mandovi River.
Step into the second day of your honeymoon by relaxing on the beautiful Candolim Beach, surrounded by palm trees and offering various water sports activities like parasailing and jet skiing. Enjoy the serenity while savoring some fresh seafood at one of the numerous eateries along the beach. Spend your evening witnessing the artistic extravaganza at the Goa State Museum, displaying an array of paintings, sculptures, and artifacts unique to Goa.
On the third day of your trip, visit the UNESCO-listed Old Goa, a former colonial capital with a cluster of preserved churches, convents, and cathedrals. Visit the stunning Se Cathedral, the largest church in Asia, and the St. Cajetan Church, resembling St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Walk along the Mandovi River, and enjoy the intoxicating beauty of the mangroves with the Dolphin and Mangrove tour, accessible from Old Goa.
Begin your fourth day by visiting the picturesque villages of Anjuna and Vagator surrounded by azure seas and lush green paddy fields. Enjoy the stunning view from Chapora Fort, made popular by the Bollywood movie 'Dil Chahta Hai,' or just soak in the laidback Goan life at Chapora Village. Go souvenir hunting at the antique colonial shops on the way while relishing some local Goan cuisine before you head back.
To make the most of your trip, you can add a day trip to the serene beaches of Arambol Beach, or have a day of thrift shopping at the Flea Market in Anjuna, showcasing clothes, spices, and jewelry. In case, you have lesser time, you can skip the Dolphin and Mangrove tour and the Chapora Fort. For more extended trips, you can devote a day to witness the scenic waterfalls of Dudhsagar falls, accessible from Old Goa.
