Diu

Diu Island is located south of Gujarat, India, and is connected to the mainland by bridges and a ferry. Diu was under Portuguese occupation from 1539 to 1961, when the Indian government used military action to retake all the Portgese enclaves. Apart from Diu, also Daman, Goa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli were "liberated" in this conflict. This area used to be a part of a larger union territory of Goa, Daman and Diu before Goa became a state by itself. Union territory of Daman and Diu is still administrated from Delhi.

Diu has fine but not so spectacular beaches, Diu town, some villages and all in all very relaxed atmosphere compared to most of India. Diu is not anything like Goa for example and those expecting to find a similar place on a smaller scale might be disappointed.

A lazy evening in Diu, contemplating your own self; or enjoying the sunset by the seashore with a loved one; languidly relaxing in the wet sands and sipping a glass of red wine or a mug of foamy beer, with the cool breeze kissing your face…What more can you ask for? So, if you have a knack for traveling; want to escape the monotony of a rat race; or just looking for that perfect vacation with your beloved in your dream island or a place with a vintage touch, you know where to visit.
