DETAILS

FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
This excursion begins with a drive to the tiny, centuries-old stone chapel of Nossa Senhora dos Remedios, or Our Lady of Cures. Perched high on a hill in Quelim, the church offers panoramic views of the famous palm-fringed coastline of Goa, and is the site of the yearly Feast of Three Kings festival. You can visit the interior of the chapel, with its beautiful statue of the Madonna holding the baby Jesus in one arm and a small vase in the other, or remain outside to enjoy the scenic views.

The tour continues with a drive to Margao City, Goa's second largest city and commercial capital. Following a stop at a local market where vendors sell fish, spices and vegetables, you drive to the Old City to see the magnificent Indo-Portuguese mansions lining both sides of the road.

Your final stop is Cansaulim Beach, renowned for its pristine white sand. Enjoy a light refreshment at a local restaurant, before returning to the ship.
