Former Portuguese island town off Gujarat
A small island town off the Gujarat coast, part of the union territory of Daman and Diu, with Diu Airport and a harbor. It retains Portuguese-era architecture and quiet beaches.
Diu was a Portuguese colony for over four centuries until 1961, and its seafront fort and churches survive from that era. It was long an important port on trade routes in the Arabian Sea.
