Project for Investment at Arpora, Baga,Goa.

Arpora is a 20 minute walk or 5 minute taxi ride from Baga beach and Calangute, and most of the short stay visitors in Arpora's resort hotels head to these two popular beaches in close proximity.

If these beaches are too crowded for you, consider adventuring north towards quieter beaches such as nearby Vagator beach (from where you will be ble to explore Chapora Fort) or northerly Ashvem and Mandrem
The Mackies Saturday Night Bazaar (more below) is a regular attraction in Arpora, and is a great place to pick up gifts and souvenirs. For a less tourist orientated market, try the lively Friday market in the nearby town of Mapusa
For tourists looking for a few weeks of uncomplicated relaxation, Arpora with its nearby beaches and plentiful hotels / restaurants offers all you really need.
