Divar Island is located near Chorao Island 10 km from Panaji and connected by Ferry Boat with Old Goa and Ribandar.
Earlier Divar Island was a sacred place for Hindus. There were lot of Hindu Temples at this island, but were destroyed by Portuguese while conquering Goa. Some of them are even present today and among them is the famous The Ganesh Temple.
The popularity of Divar Island is connected with preserved gorgeous and well-groomed Portuguese villas in Piedado village. Some of them are opened for Tourists. Divar Island is one of a few places in Goa, where you can enjoy Urak – light version of Feni made of Cashew- all year long.
