Tour Packages for Diu

Lying on the edge of the southern borders of Gujarat, in Western India, Daman and Diu is the second smallest Union Territory of India. More popular for its exotic beaches and intoxicating liquor, Daman and Diu offers a perfect escape from the clamor of daily humdrum. The twin islands date their history to the attempts of colonization by the Portuguese in the 16th century, the evidence of which remains in the form of rich architecture in the place. Daman and Diu came under the control of India as late as 1962.

The town of Diu has 3 churches, off which only one is performing its real task i.e. the St. Paul's, while the St. Thomas' Church now houses the Diu Museum and St. Francis of Assisi has been converted into a hospital. It is believed that there are only 15 Christian families on the Island now. You can also experience the magic of this town yourself on Tour Packages for Diu, India.

The imprints of Portuguese culture can still be felt and seen in the town of Diu, unlike that of Daman.
