Arpora is less developed than some other areas of Goa, and is thus a more serene and quieter place. There is a lot more greenery, as the neighborhood still largely retains its former village status. The pace of life is slow here, just perfect for an easy-going relaxed vacation. There are many beaches around Arpora, like Anjuna, Ozran, and Vagator. The popular Baga and Calangute beaches of North Goa are close too.
Stay at a nice villa in Arpora and visit the many nearby attractions. Don’t miss the famous Anjuna market and the Saturday Night market. You will find fresh fish and a lot of other stuff here. Fishermen sell their daily catch of tiger prawns, oysters, crabs, and other fish. If you visit in January, then don’t miss the St. Sebastian feast at the chapel and also the Dhalo celebrations. Try some local delicacies at the many restaurants and beach shacks. Get a tattoo or a relaxing massage.
