The ‘Queen of the Arabian Sea’ – the vibrant city of Kochi is the financial, commercial and industrial capital of Kerala. It is the perfect blend of old world charm meets modernity. Snuggly nestled between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea Kochi is reminiscent of indelible impressions of Arabs, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese and British cultures. A gaggle of islands interconnected by ferries, this cosmopolitan town has upmarket stores, cool cafes, art galleries and some of the finest heritage accommodations. The meandering streets in the quaint seaside town of Fort Kochi are dotted with grandiose and palatial European fortifications, charming churches and other architectural buildings that take you back in time to the ambience of the British Era. The town has a vibe of an ancient colonial city with charming and kaleidoscopic architecture. After a day of sightseeing, travelers can spend balmy evenings with lazy strolls on the beach in the radiant backdrop of the sunset and the Chinese fishing nets.
The magnificently illuminated Belgian chandeliers and coloured-glass lamps, ornate brass bimah, elegant wooden benches, and elaborate hand-painted, willow-pattern floor tiles of the Pardesi synagogue in Jew Town are a sight to behold. The Jew Town is also a haven for antique lovers. The spartan rooms overlooking green surroundings, royal artefacts on display and the exquisitely stricking and intricate murals depicting scenes from Ramayana and Mahabharata in the Matancherry Palace (popularly known as the Dutch Palace) are awe-inspiring. The mesmerizing fragrances of sandal soaps, perfumes and spices fill the air. Kochi is a hotspot for water sports in Kerala. Adventure aficionados can seek the thrill in catamaran rides, knee boarding, scuba diving, kayaking and water skiing. Kochi is also famous for the biannual Biennale Festival, and Kathakali and Kalarippayattu dance performances. Other points of Interest are the Willington islands, Veeranpuzha Lake, Bolgatty Palace, Hill Palace Museum, David Hill, St. Francis Church and Santa Cruz Basilica.
