Thanks :) Also I hardly remembered UT is not the only inet resource and found www.goacom.com, now browsing scenes from Goa and maps. You provided me the info that I couldn't reach yet :) As I learned there is no direct flight, Izmir-Istanbul-Dubai (or Zurich)-Bombay then to Goa by road. And already learned something little about Mapusa and flea markets (too similar to ours) :), Doodhsakar falls, Shanta Durga temple (yeah some touristic visits too).
Thanks again.
