Here in this article, we have put forth some of the most important points to make sure that your summer vacation to Goa this time remains as pleasurable as possible. We have made the list of things you should and should not do while on your trip to Goa this summer.
Goa has always been portrayed as a tourism destination of Sun, Sea, and Siesta, you will find this in most of the commercials either TV, Theatre or Online. The main reason behind this is the existence of a western influence prevailing into this state. You will find most of the domestic tourists moving around the state wearing western outfits which normally they may not do in their respective states.
The point here is, once they come to Goa they feel to behave as Goans do. This does not mean all the people from Goa follow the western custom or culture, there are many Goans prefers to follow Indian custom and culture Goa but that again is an issue of debate and there is no scope for any debate as far as this article is concerned as this article is written specifically for the people visiting Goa in the Summer.

In the same way, when we travel to Kashmir we are going to wear warmer clothes which will save us from a severe cold.
While in Goa it is very much advisable to wear white cotton costumes to avoid the effects of hot sun and humid climate. For men wearing the short Bermudas, white T-shirt of Shirt would be very comfortable while for women Short jeans and white shirt could be very trendy and comfortable. Please avoid wearing very tight and full-length clothes as it could be very uncomfortable at times. It is up to the choice of each individual as there are various options available in Goa market check out for some of the closes by outlets to find out what is available this summer.
STAY AND EAT

Try to stay close to the seashore in summer as most of the time you will be enjoying a good bath in the clean and blue sea of Goa and though it is very humid but cool breeze flowing over the sea will make you feel better. Try booking your rooms in a place surrounded by lots of greenery and having cross ventilation structure, of course, you have options of air-conditioned place but that keeps you away from the natural goodness of that place.
Most of the eat outs in Goa are most reasonably priced except some big brand names which people visit for the sake of reputation, but you can always try a small place (shack) around the corner which will provide you very good quality food at very reasonable rates.
