Take a train to Hampi or Madgoan but be aware that most trains leave early in the morning (e.g. to Hospet - Hampi at 7 am) so it’s good to stay somewhere close to the station. We found the best place was Kovolam Beach which has lots of guesthouses and restaurants and a nice beach, and it’s cheap.

Some advice: Don't catch the state bus from Goa to Hampi - it's 10 hours of sheer hell.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9799 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9756
It has an amazing fish market daily and at night the market becomes a series of outdoor restaurants. Watch the fishermen at dawn every day and sink a couple of ice cold beers as the sun sets over this little mini ‘island'.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9756
