/PRNewswire/ --

Goa

really is paradise on Earth. Swaying palm trees, white sandy beaches and

sparkling waters are the three key elements that attract nearly 2 million visitors

annually to

Goa's

sunny shores. The influence of Portuguese colonial rule can

still be seen everywhere: in the stunning ancient architecture; and in the East-

meets-West cuisine, which combines coconut milk, palm vinegar and chillies

with the refined flavours of

Lisbon

.

Holidays to Goa from Cosmos

guarantee you vibrant colours, delicious

aromas and a more westernised version of traditional

India

.

Goa

embraces

both its past and the modern present to provide travellers with an

unforgettable holiday.

Goa

has many beautiful beaches, some secluded and

isolated, where you can get away from it all and wander where your heart

desires. Other beaches host Full Moon Parties, or bars and restaurants that are

brimming with excellent seafood. Whichever way you choose to soak up the

sun,

Goa

has the paradise beach for you.

A popular destination for sun worshippers,

Goa

has a warm climate with

temperatures averaging 30°C for most of the year. The rainy season lasts from

June to September, during which time most of the facilities and beaches are

closed. From November to April, there is hardly any rain, and

Goa

becomes a

summer haven for visitors of all ages. Christmas is a great time to be in

Goa

, as

the weather is glorious and the atmosphere is suitably festive. Tinsel is

everywhere and fireworks grace the evening sky. Why brave another cold and

grey British Christmas again?

But there's a lot more to

Goa

than just beautiful beaches and perfect weather.

Goa

is full of culturally and historically significant sites. You can explore two

World Heritage sites, the Bom Jesus Basilica and the convents and churches of

old

Goa

. There are also many excursions available, including trips to the

waterfalls and forests to feed and swim with monkeys, and ride and bath

elephants. There's also the option of an island cruise to see dolphins, and a trip

to the 14th century city, Hampi, to see

India's

archaeological delights.

The unique history and culture of the place makes it a fascinating holiday

destination for families and backpackers alike. For more information, check out

Goa
