Goa

Goa moves at its own pace, and the best way to see it is without a fixed itinerary. Mornings belong to the beach; afternoons are for wandering the old Portuguese quarters.

Save the beach shacks for sunset, when the crowds thin out and the kitchens are at their best. A rented scooter makes the whole weekend easier.
