#8 Anjuna Flea Market

Wednesday is a sure-shot shoppers day with this weekly flea market at Anjuna beach calling your name out and loud.

Amazing designs at almost fixed decent price range is what attracts many to this one. It can be explored for the love of true blue Goan street fashion.

 

#7 Fara India

How can a trip be complete without shopping some designer fashion souvenirs designed exclusively by renowned brands FARA, Van Andel and Peace, available at the Cheshire Cat Gallery.

Every fashionable piece, jewellery or clothing, screams its own unique story.

 

#6 Jila Bakery, Candolim

With nothing extraordinary in its name or appeal on the surface level, this definitely counts for a traditional concealed gem.

Running since decades, the bakery is run by an old Goan man with sweet baked, authentic delicacies that don’t last beyond afternoon on any given day. Be sure to spare time in the morning.

 

#5 La Plage, Ashwem beach

An exotic French shack in Goa on another gorgeous beach, La Plage can easily be termed as the winner of gourmet French cuisine and affluent dining in town. A must try!

 

#4 Swing By the Bay

Another class-apart restaurant located within the Goa airport vicinity is known for its exquisite Malabari food and great ambience. 

Its USP is its ‘Goa in a Glass’ cocktails, made exclusively from blending Goan home-manufactured liquor brands.

Ladies can also look forward to their Wednesday nights to get 1 free signature cocktail for every inch of their heels.

 

#3 Jamboree Creek

While there is no dearth of good high-end as well as budget hotels and guest houses in Goa, this cute jungle hut with a swimming pool accessible at affordable prices can make for a great pick.

Given its almost hidden identity, privacy from the crowd is a given. It’s listed on Airbnb for easy booking.

 

#2 Harvalem Falls

Set in lush green jungles in Goa, Harvalem Falls makes for a stunning view with its milk-like white gushing water streams.

Located close to Arvalem Cave in Panjim, one can also visit the Shiva temple nearby. 

The place is sure to leave you feeling refreshed.

 

#1 Butterfly Beach

Home to a plethora of interesting beaches all around, Goa leaves for one spoilt choice. Located approximately 37 kilometres from Margao in relative isolation, Butterfly Beach is an untouched jewel.

It gives travellers the thrill to spot crabs, a range of beautiful butterflies and even dolphins besides its powdery white sands.
