Overview

A four-day Vagator holiday package in North Goa, India: three nights by the cliff beaches of Vagator and the fishing hamlet of Chapora, with the 1617 Chapora Fort close by. It suits couples, friends and slow travellers who want sea views and sunsets, and November to February is the best time to go.

Who it suits

Travellers who want one hotel, sunset cliffs and short drives. Less suited to anyone who wants quiet nights, as the cliff bars can be lively

Highlights

Chapora FortFort tunnel entrancesBig Vagator beachLittle Vagator and OzranLittle Vagator cliff at sunsetChapora fishing hamletViews to Anjuna and MorjimAnjuna rocky coveMapusa market townOptional water sports

Good to know

Fort climb

Chapora Fort sits on a hill with steep slopes, so wear shoes with a good grip

Market days

Anjuna's flea market runs on Wednesdays and Mapusa's market is busiest on Fridays, so Day 3 can be moved to suit

Evenings

Cliff-top bars and clubs at Little Vagator are lively at sunset, so ask for a quiet room if you prefer early nights

Monsoon

Heavy rain falls from June to September, which is why the stay is planned for the dry months
