It is considered that in Goa prices are much lower than in other popular seaside resorts. This belief corresponds to reality only in relation to the average cost of living. Without a doubt, the average prices for holidays in Goa are lower than average prices for holidays in Greece, for example. Also, the average price of food, goods and services in Goa are lower than in the UK. But the size of the budget varies depending on the angle you choose, the categories of housing, level of comfort, length of stay and season.
At the most economical calculation, you can stay within the $ 600-700 per person for a two-week vacation or a month, if you are renting the lower price segment for a long time. Most tourists, however, prefer to decent housing with amenities, entertainment, restaurants, and buy souvenirs and gifts. Average cost of a two-week vacation around $ 1000-1500 per person. Approximately the same amount is required to ensure the long-term monthly standard of living.
