Embrace life like a local with slow living in Goa

1. BREAKFAST STAPLE

Start your day the Goan way with a simple, yet delicious, meal of piping hot bhaji and freshly baked pao at a local eatery. 

 2. FRESH CATCH, TIMELESS TECHNIQUES

Watch local fishermen catch fish as you head over to get your hands on the freshest catch straight from the sea.

3. WANDERING THROUGH HISTORY

Stroll through narrow village lanes, admire the charming Goan houses, and strike up conversations with friendly locals who always have a story to share.

4. THE ART OF SLOWING DOWN

Whether it’s an afternoon siesta or simply lounging on a comfortable armchair, Goans have mastered the art of relaxation and you should, too, specially after a hearty Goan lunch. 

5. AN EVENING WALK

Beyond the touristy roads and towering coconut trees are some interesting village pathways that offer a slice of paradise. So, why not go for a walk (pasoi)?

6. GO FISHING

Even in a rapidly changing world, you can still find Goans practicing traditional occupations like fishing, and keeping their heritage alive. Join them, and if you don’t catch fish, you will learn the forgotten art of patience. 

7. TINTO TALES

The village tinto, is more than just a spot for essentials — it’s where locals gather to exchange stories, gossip and laughter. Stop by, and feel the local Goan vibe at sunset. 

8. CHECK OUT A GOAN FOOD CART

It’s easy to relish roadside treats, but check out the famous Goan evening snack. A cutlet pao or chilly fry is the way to lead a good Goan food life.
