Old Goa is said to have been one of the richest cities in the world during the 16th and 17th century, before epidemics of cholera and malaria paralysed Goa. Thereafter the capital was shifted to Panaji (Panjim.) Old Goa was also known as ‘Rome of the East’ due to the incidence of prettily designed churches and wide open piazzas.

My first travel blog! Tillmati Beach, is one of the not seen or visited beach by anyone. This beach is near Goa and Karnataka border. From karwar it's around 14km way, from there 1km hike to reach beautiful beach of karwar!. The word tilmati kept for tht beach because in that Beach the sands look like sesame sand means til. R ight, the entire beach is made of black sand of basaltic rock which is so finely grained over the course of thousands of years by waves hitting the rocks. To the surprise, this is the only 100 meters stretch of the beach where you will find such sand whereas to the south just 1km away, Majali beach thrives with white/yellow sand. The hike to beach covers crossing a small stream, then climbing a small hill with Arabian sea on your left side. There is a trail but you can even ask locals for help if you spot any.

Heart Shape Lake. By Vilroy D’souza Photoshoots, movies shooting, hangouts and lots more that happen in Goa is at the Heart Lake that is situated at Chicolna near Bogmalo in the South. It is one of the famous tourist spots. Beauty of Goa cannot be described with just one place but actually the whole of Goa itself is at its beauty. Getting to see a heart shaped lagoon with your loved ones and enjoying the Sunset is just what a tourist would want. How-to-get-there? Take the road that goes to Bogmalo and enter the Chicolna road. It will lead you to rocky roads that are divided into two ways, one at your left that will lead you to the heart-shaped lake and in the sea too. Other one that’s to your right will lead you to the top of a cliff also called as ‘Suicide Point’ and that top cliff view will show you the perfect shape of the lake.
