The island of Diu, an erstwhile Portuguese colony, is off the coast of Saurashtra Gujarat. There has been no major commercial exploitation or environmental degradation here and with a pleasant climate year round, Diu offers a filly laid back atmosphere. The major occupations here are fishing and farming. The Portuguese rule Diu for over 405 years, giving the island the battlement of Diu Fort, and the wood-paneled St. Paul's and St. Thomas churches. Diu is an hour's flight from Mumbai or a six-hour drive from Rajkot in Gujarat.
There are six beautiful beaches in Diu -- Ghoghia, Jallandhar, Kevdi, Nagoa, Gomatimata, and Chakratirth.
