Kochi is a fascinating port town that tumbles from mainland Kerala over a maze of islands and peninsulas connected by a network of bridges and ferries. A colourful blend of influences, Kochin formed the heart of the Indian spice trade for centuries, absorbing and being shaped by the many nations that came together on its shores.
From giant Chinese fishing nets to Dutch palaces and Portuguese churches, a 400-year-old synagogue and the white sails of Arabic dhows, Kochin offers a mesmerising blend of traditions, histories and architecture.
