Stay in Goa is always special for many reasons, not just the beaches or holiday, it is something to do with the overall vibe of that state, which just kick starts your mood as you land on airport or station.
Vibe would not necessarily be influenced or derived by late parties or alcohol, but the serene clean beaches of south Goa , hustle bustle surroundings of north Goa, the wind flowing through your hair, the sand in your feet, sound & feel of waves touching your feet, and sun on your head.
The coconut trees, the yellow & blue houses, lush green, narrow lanes suddenly opening to a highway, even the abundant scooters have some contribution to how the city looks like.
One holiday which never remains just one.
