Goa is known for its Gothic churches, crumbling forts, palm-fringed beaches, coconut groves, ferry rides, bubbly folk music… and the famous afternoon siesta for those who want relaxation. Situated on the western coastline of India, Goa is sandwiched between the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka. The waters of the Arabian Sea wash the coastline of Goa. It is split into two districts – North Goa and South Goa. North Goa includes the capital city of Panjim, the former capital of Old Goa, Fort Aguada, Candolim, Chapora, Vagator, and the beaches Calangute, Anjuna and Baga. South Goa includes Vasco da Gama Bogmalo, Margao, Colva and Benaulim.
