Divar and chorao Island
Location : 10 km from Panaji.
Attractions : Church of Our Lady of Compassion. |
Just outside the former colonial capital of Old Goa, Chorao village
and Divar are two rather scenic islands. These are not frequented by
tourists, but head here to get a taste of the tranquil setting of
rural Goa. You can take a ferry to this place from the Ribandar-Old
Goa end. Each year after the monsoons a colourful bonderam (flag)
festival is celebrated over a couple of weekends on Divar Island.

Divar Island, popular Hindu pilgrimage, is located at a distance of 10 km from Panaji, the capital of Goa. The island is completely isolated from Goan life and you can reach here by ferry. Here, you will experience the real Goan Village life away from the hustle bustle of the city life.
One can enjoy traditional Goan cuisine and fresh seafood here. Walk briskly along the ancient streets, portuguese villas, and enjoy shopping at the local shops here. Church of Our Lady of Compassion add aura to the island and is worth visiting here.
