Most visitors – including those on charter flights from Britain – arrive at the busy and confusing airport of Dabolim. The nearest town is Vasco da Gama, named after the Portuguese explorer. But to start to make sense of Goa, you should begin in the state capital, Panaji. (Like most places in Goa, the "Indianised" name has taken precedence over the Portuguese rendition, Panjim.)
Beside the broad, sluggish Mandovi River, all the paraphernalia of a Portuguese city has been established – and much of it has endured. The church is the most visible symbol: Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception perches on a hill, keeping a maternal eye on the once-splendid villas that clutch at her skirts. Their pastel colours fade deliciously in the hazy sunshine, while their residents ascend for services in English, Portuguese or Konkan – the local language, and also the name of the high-speed railway line from Mumbai that has helped put Goa on the map for Indian visitors.
Goa's charm lies chiefly in the wealth of beautiful beaches lining the shores, each with its own appeal. Take your pick from about 30 beaches strung out along the coastline. Swimming in the sea is generally safe in designated areas but take care in the months of October and November when the seabed is still settling after the monsoon. While Goa's reputation as one of the most liberal Indian states means that sunbathing in a bikini is entirely accepted, it is important to remember that topless sunbathing is illegal and wearing flimsy shorts or a bikini anywhere other than the beach is extremely disrespectful. The image of loose Western women has been circulated by the Indian media and as a result foreigners can sometimes experience pestering from local men asking for a photo or simply staring.

Answers & Comments
Большинство посетителей, в том числе на чартерных рейсах из Великобритании, прибывают в загруженный и запутанный аэропорт Даболим. Ближайший город - Васко да Гама, названный в честь португальского исследователя. Но чтобы начать разбираться в Гоа, вам следует начать со столицы штата Панаджи. (Как и в большинстве мест в Гоа, «индианизированное» название имеет приоритет над португальским переводом, Panjim.)
Помимо широкой медленной реки Мандови, созданы все атрибуты португальского города - и большая часть этого сохранилась. Церковь является наиболее заметным символом: Богоматерь Непорочного зачатия восседает на холме, не сводя материнских глаз с некогда великолепных вилл, цепляющихся за ее юбки. Их пастельные тона восхитительно блекнут в туманном солнечном свете, в то время как их жители поднимаются наверх за услугами на английском, португальском или конканском (местном языке), а также название высокоскоростной железнодорожной линии из Мумбаи, которая помогла Гоа на карте Индии посетители.
Очарование Гоа заключается в изобилии красивых пляжей вдоль берегов, каждый из которых имеет свою привлекательность. Выберите один из 30 пляжей, расположенных вдоль побережья. Купание в море, как правило, безопасно в специально отведенных местах, но будьте осторожны в октябре и ноябре, когда морское дно все еще оседает после сезона дождей. Хотя репутация Гоа как одного из самых либеральных штатов Индии означает, что загорать в бикини вполне допустимо, важно помнить, что загорать топлес незаконно, а носить тонкие шорты или бикини где-либо, кроме пляжа, крайне неуважительно. Образ распутных западных женщин распространялся в индийских СМИ, и в результате иностранцы иногда могут испытывать приставания со стороны местных мужчин, просящих фото или просто пристальных взглядов.
