Goa has been ranked at No 4 on a list of ‘10 best exotic places to take an extended holiday’ by international travel website TripAtlas.com.
According to the website, an ‘extended holiday’ is more than two weeks long. The website ranks Goa above renowned Asian holiday resorts as the island of Bali in Indonesia as well as Thailand’s exotic beach resorts of Phuket and Pattaya.
“Goa is a hot holiday spot for Indian and South Asian vacationers and is best known for its beaches, festivals and ancient temples. It was once a Portuguese colony and thus offers an eclectic mix of both east and west.
Calangute and Candolim are the most popular beach towns, but Goa’s capital Panaji is worth a visit, as is Ponda, a sacred site of Goan temples”, the website says.
Goa ranks above even European and US destinations like Florida, the Canary Islands off Africa and the island of St Martinique in the Caribbean.
However, Goa fails to make any appearance on the website’s list of the 10 ‘Sexiest Destinations in the World’.
