Divar Island

Divar Island

The ferry jetty for Divar Island, Chorao's twin in the Mandovi, is in Old Goa. Protected by the river and somewhat isolated from mainstream Goa, Divar makes for a very pleasant day out. Piedade, its main village, is serene. The Church of Our Lady of Compassion, on a hill, is in good condition and worth a visit; it also has excellent views of the river and the countryside.
