No matter how you feel about hippies, it was thanks to them that the whole world learned about this paradise on the shores of the Indian Ocean in the 1960s. The “flower children” moved to India en masse to breathe in freedom and escape the conventions of conservative society. In their stories, Goa was a special place where anyone could find themselves, discover harmony, and fall in love with the beauty of the surrounding nature. After such publicity, Goa experienced a real tourism boom. By the early 2000s, it was hard to find a young person in Moscow who did not dream of visiting this paradise. And those lucky enough to see it once were forever captivated by the desire to return.

And you can understand why! Gorgeous beaches with fine sand, palm trees bending toward the water along the coast, a warm ocean, a vibrant nightlife, tanned beauties and muscular surfers, and most importantly – a complete feeling of freedom and happiness! Even if fans of light drugs, trance, and house insist that Goa is not what it used to be, open-airs, fire shows, cheap alcohol, and cardboard bungalows by the shore have not disappeared. At the same time, 5-star hotels and more sophisticated entertainment have appeared for tourists who are used to comfortable vacations.

Still, even beaches, parties, and yoga can become tiring over time. And that is exactly when it is time to explore Goa attractions. You will find most of them on the interactive map, where you can mark the places you would like to see.
