DIU |
|
A beautiful
blend of Sun, sand and sea, is a God's gift to those in quest of a blessed turf where the
wary weight of the unintelligible world can, for a while, be lightened and the waking soul
can hear the music of the spheres. It is an island retreat gently rocked by the wind and
the wave from the Arabian Sea. It offers you undisturbed peace and an unusual holiday. |

Diu
a former Portuguese enclave, and not a Union Territory, is steeped in history. It was a
seaport and naval base of considerable strategic importance from the 14th to 16th
Centuries. It was also a vital trade link with the rest of India for traders overseas. Diu
was under the sway of Chanda and Vaghela dynasties till the 14th Century. The Muslim
rulers ruled over the island town till 1380 AD. Then came the mighty wave of invasion of
the foreign rule that lasted well nigh upto 450 years.
