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.
