Most photo delight spots in Goa - Instagrammable

Goa is always a delight for anyone looking for a break, cutting across the genre of crowd, any party and the likes of bachelors end up discussing Goa trip at-least once. While beaches, restos, pubs and food is the main attraction in goa,  there is much more to it, than just being touristy place, there is lot goa has to offer the travelers, like me who would just do not want to sit at the glaring the beach all day long. But loves to explore the nature, history and culture of the Goa. 
Having said and done, most of us end up closing goa trip with actual hangover of beer and beaches. I am bringing you at-least 10 off beat places, which are quite instagrammable too, I am including the GPS Co-ordinates for anyone to find the places easily, oh yes you can thank me later :)

1. Fontainhas (quarter), Altinho, Panaji- a colorful locality, indeed a latin quarters which was once a settlement for Portuguese rulers. It gives the glimpse of actual old goa, the lanes and houses tell the tales of era that has passed, however it is still happening place, as the houses now host many hotels, some of them very niche.





While one can spend whole day roaming around these lanes, as there is lot more than just buildings, there is some amazing food option and can pose or pictures too :)

2. São Jacinto  - Sao Jacinto Island or San Jacinto Island is a small island lying in the Mormugao bay. It is a lovely little place located about 7 km from Bogmalo beach. This tiny island was blessed with incredible, breathtaking natural beauty where you can catch sights of plate corals.

It is amazing feel listening to the waves and taking a stroll across the Soa Jacinto church in the night, as it looked safe place even in night, but be cautious.
