Things to do in Manohar International Airport
Goa is India's smallest state and its most distinctly Portuguese — 450 years of colonial rule left white-washed Baroque churches, Latin-plan villages, and a relaxed beach culture unlike anywhere else in the country. The Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa (UNESCO) houses the body of St. Francis Xavier. Anjuna, Vagator, and Palolem are beaches for different moods — the north is livelier, the south more peaceful. Goa's cuisine (fish curry rice, vindaloo, bebinca dessert) is its own tradition.
