The flea market., Anjuna

 Dizzyhead Says:  The flea market is a wonderful place to buy different kind of things. You can find all kind of different things to buy and there is no limit how much you can bargain. It is up to the seller, if he wants to sell or not. A good salesman doesnt sell if he doesnt make some money...

Sea Breeze: Refreshing breeze, beer and music in Anjuna, Anjuna

 iblatt Says:  After a long stroll in the Anjuna Wednesday Market, making our way among colorful stalls and almost equally colorful tourists, we finally started to feel tired, in need of a nice place to sit down and relax. Then we heard the music: Joe Cocker's songs, live, coming out of a...

Gleneagles Bar: Friendly and helpful

Gleneagles Bar: Friendly and helpful, Anjuna

 traceyspacey Says:  We went for a walk along the road, turning right out of Starco's just to see what was there. We had a cold beer at Gleneagles. This is a British run place, ran by Craig and his partner. The beers are a little cheaper than from the beach bars. Craig helped us sort out our... 

Shore bar: The best beach bar ever

Shore bar: The best beach bar ever, Anjuna

Transportation  

Ride an Enfield

Ride an Enfield, Anjuna

 Liatris1 Says:  Enfield is a legendary indian motorbike.This is the Enfield 500 that we´re renting while in Goa. The Enfield is at first a somewhat unnerving experience, with the gears on the right side (1. gear on top) and the brake on the left. But, as is the case with so many other... 

From Arambol to Anjuna and Vagator and back

From Arambol to Anjuna and Vagator and back, Anjuna

 MalenaN Says:  From Arambol to Anjuna and Vagator and backOne day I visited Anjuna and Vagator from Arambol. There are no direct buses so you must first go to Mapusa (pronounced Mapsa) and change buses there. I walked up to the main road in Arambol and waited for a bus. I didn’t have to... 

Need the nearest ATM

Need the nearest ATM, Anjuna

 traceyspacey Says:  Despite what you may have heard, the nearest ATM is in Mapusa not Baga. You can get a bus from Anjuna to Mapusa for 7 Rupees (this was correct at the end of last year). There are 2 or 3 ATM's at Mapusa. Catch the bus from just outside Starco's. 

Shopping  

Anjuna Fleamarket: You can get it at the market

Anjuna Fleamarket: You can get it at the market, Anjuna

Peddlers who don't take no for an answer!, Anjuna

 iblatt Says:  Well, this is not really a "warning" tip, but I'd just like to share with you this nuisance on Anjuna beach: Peddlers are of all ages, from 6 to 96. One follows another, insisting on showing you every item in their merchandise, whether you want to look or not. One after the...

Live music concerts

Live music concerts, Anjuna

 asurfacing Says:  South Goa offers some of the most eclectic music, live. Try and catch Prem Joshua at the beginning of every year, performing at one or the other small hangouts. He is the quintessential hippie icon.

 If your going to Goa, don't stay in Anjuna unless your hedonist. Instead go to Arambol or Palolem much much nicer people and places
