Spend the day at the Calangute Beach and soak up the sun. Enjoy a long walk on the beach, take a dip in the sea, or just laze around and read a book. There are plenty of shacks where you can have lunch and try some seafood dishes. In the evening, head to the Baga Beach to watch the sunset.
Explore Goa's rich cultural heritage by visiting some of its famous forts and churches. Start with the Chapora Fort which offers stunning views of the coastline. Then head to the Basilica of Bom Jesus which houses the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier. Continue to the Se Cathedral, the largest church in Asia, known for its Portuguese-Gothic architecture and serene surroundings.
Experience Goa's rich flora and fauna with a tour of a spice plantation. Learn about various spices and their medicinal properties. See how they are grown and processed. Enjoy a traditional Goan lunch made from organic produce. Some popular spice plantation tours include the Sahakari Spice Farm and the Tropical Spice Plantation. In the evening, head to the Fontainhas, the old Latin quarter of Panaji, and explore its narrow lanes, colourful houses, art galleries and enjoy a beautiful sunset view from Altinho Hill.
If you have more time, consider adding a cruise or a boat ride along the Mandovi river. Visit the Aguada Fort and the Goa State Museum.
