Diu Fort

Constructed in the 16th Century, the Diu Fort is an important historical sight. It is a mesmerizing place with lush greenery in and around it and the gushing blue water to the horizon. A view from the top of this fort cannot be more enchanting. Located within it are a Lighthouse and the Diu Jail, making the place even more desirable for tourists.

The divine Gangeshwar Temple is one with a mystical aura of its own. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, there are five Shiva lingas set amidst the rocks of the seashore. These stones are believed to have been placed here by the Pandavas during their period of exile. This enchanting historical temple is totally worth a visit.

 

Panikotha Fortim Do Mar

Panikotha Fortim Do Mar is an enormous edifice built in the shape of a ship offshore the Arabian Sea.

INS Khukhri

INS Khukhri is a war memorial that was built in the memory of the army officers and sailors who chose to go down with the warship INS Khukri when it was hit by three torpedoes fired by PNS Hango, a Pakistani Submarine on 9th December, 1971, during the Indo-Pak war.

Naida Caves

The Naida Caves, one of the most underrated tourist attractions of Diu are just as much of a photographer’s paradise as are for an explorer. Located outside the Diu fort, the caves have an intricate network of tunnels and huge step like structures that make the caves a must visit site.

Hoka Trees

Diu can rightly be called the land of Hoka Trees, a particularly different looking type of trees whose branches eek out in different directions from a common trunk. Structurally it appears as if several coconut trees have been grafted into a common trunk. These Hoka trees are indeed unique and found only in this part of India.
