Fortress of Panikota is a magnificent stone structure in the sea, built right at the mouth of a creek, in
Diu District,
Daman and Diu. Situated about one nautical mile from the Diu jetty, it can be reached only by a canoe or a motor launch.
The fortress has a light house and a small chapel, dedicated to Our Lady of the Sea. It offers a beautiful view whether seen from the jetty, from Diu Fort, from the village of Ghoghla or from Diu proper.
