Reviewed By kalindid_12 - Pune, India
One of the most noticeable churches in the heart of the city which can be seen from far and cannot go unnoticed. With its white washed walls and beautiful Portuguese architecture, it is one of must visit places while in Panjim. I was told by our taxi driver that many Bollywood films have been shot here. There are many steps to climb but not difficult to climb. From the top one gets a nice view of the city too. It is beautiful inside too! One can definitely spare 20-30 minutes to see this Church.

One of the most instagram worthy location in Goa. It reminded me of shop houses in Little India (Singapore) Just walk past the colorful houses and capture amazing memories. There are few cafes nearby where you can sit and relax. Dine at Down the Road restaurant!

The Se Cathedral, is situated opposite side of Basilica of Bom Jesus. The church is built-up in a spread-out and well-maintained landscape. This is a big church with an attractive architecture, the tower houses a large bell known as the "Golden Bell". The premise also houses Archaeological Museum. Appropriate clothing is recommended.

Amazing beach for the sunset, looking for a peace then visit this place. Although it’s far from North Goa. It took around 40 mins via 2 wheeler but must say it is one of the best beach that I have experienced in India. The sunset view is beautiful from this beach. I would recommend you to add this in your bucket-list if you planning to visit Goa.

The minute I stepped inside the temple, I felt the positive and powerful vibes. Much needed in today's world. The temple is open from morning 8am to evening 6pm even during COVID, which is good as it prevents over-crowding of visitors. The main entrance is closed. You have to go just one lane ahead where the lane to the back entrance starts. Entry was not allowed without masks and the person at the entrance was noting down temperature checks of the visitors along with their address and phone number. Sanitizers were provided. Social distancing was followed. Important is modest dressing is a must. No sleeveless, half skirts, shorts or short clothes allowed. Hands and legs and legs should be fully covered. The original temple was first built in Quelossim. But after Portuguese invasion, the temple was destroyed and later built by the Maratha Empire in Kavlem, where it is now. The temple is dedicated to Shree Shantadurga, the goddess of peace. Durga, who is often portrayed exuding fury and aggression, appears in a gentler form in Goa. Shanta, in Sanskrit, means peace. According to Hindu mythology, the goddess got her name after she settled a quarrel between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. According to legend, the quarrel turned bitter and became so fierce that it threatened to destroy the entire universe. Fearing annihilation, Lord Brahma pleaded Goddess Parvati to interfere. Taking the form of Shantadurga, the goddess took Shiva by her left hand and Vishnu by her right and pacified the duo. Thus, the idol of the goddess is flanked by the statues of Shiva and Vishnu. The goddess holds serpents in each hand, representing Shiva and Vishnu. This is the famous kuldevi of the Goud Saraswat Brahmin community. Very peaceful and positive place. Definitely visit at least once.

Visited this southern and almost last part of goa beaches. We were amazed to see the beauty and quietness of patnem. It is famous amongst peace lover and retreat finders. Beach was full with huts, shakes and amazing small cottages facing beach with outstanding good, calming yoga sessions and massage routines and ofcourse blissful sun all the time. We fell in love with morning walks with quietness and evenings with star gaze. If you plan to visit goa, find time to comeby patnem to enjoy the beauty of southern goa.

Reviewed By FyreFaery - Tomar, Portugal
I love Keri Beach! Much more serene and peaceful than the busier beaches of Goa, cleaner and more natural. Here there are only about 10 beach restaurants and long stretches of white sand disappearing into the rocks at the far end. Many people live out here to escape the traffic and loud dance parties in Arambol, but still be 15 mins drive away from the action. A beautiful place to live (the apartments are larger and cheaper than the rest of North Goa) and a lovely place for a peaceful and day out.
