Daman and Diu together form a Union Territory on the Arabian Sea coast each of these being a district of the U.T. The two districts were part of a larger Union Territory till 1987 which included Goa and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, all ex-colonies of Portugal.
Both Diu- Daman are bounded by Gujarat, and the 450 years of Portuguese rule has diminished considerably as the influence of its neighbouring states Maharashtra and Gujarat grew.
Diu is located on the southern tip of the Kathiawad peninsula and is endowed with soft sandy beaches offering miles of solitude and privacy. A narrow channel from the Arabian Sea cuts the mainland to create the island of Diu. Una in Saurashtra is the gateway to Diu as well as the best honeymoon destinations, leading to swaying palms, golden beaches and gentle breezes. The Nagoa beach is quiet and secluded, and safe enough for swimming, other water sports and honeymoon vacation. A one-hour cruise from Diu harbor is a refreshing deviation from the regular sightseeing.
Diu has a fair share of ancient temples and churches. The Jallandhar beach has a shrine perched on a hill top near the beach, while the Gangeshwar temple in Fudam village with 5 shiva lingas washed by the sea waves is believed to have been worshipped by the Pandavas during their exile. The Portuguese legacy lives on through the fine St. Paul's Church and the Church of St. Francis of Assisi. Don't miss the visit to the Fortress of Panikotha, an impressive stone monument off the Diu jetty housing a lighthouse and a chapel.
Daman's nearness to Mumbai has seen it grow as a tourist destination in recent years. Its old world charm is preserved in the Fort of Nani Daman which covers 30,000 sq. m. Besides, a number of amusement parks and tourist complexes keep tourists engaged all evening. The Daman Ganga Tourist Complex is another top honeymoon destination to spend a day, packed with facilities for water sports and other forms of entertainment. The Kadaiya Lake Garden is an oasis of tranquility, while the Mirasol Water Park is bursting with water related activity.
