A leisurely walk through the lanes of the city is the best way to discover historic Fort Kochi.
An obscure fishing village that became the first European township in India, Kochi has an eventful and colourful history. The town was shaped by the Portuguese, the Dutch and later the British.
The result of these cultural interfaces is seen in the remains of the Indo-European architecture here.
Cochin Carnival on the New Year eve is a colourful festival not to be missed at the beach site.
