Overview
🌊✨ Step into the timeless charm of Fort Kochi! ✨🌊
Start your morning with a breezy Water Metro ride across Kochi’s backwaters and arrive at the heart of history — Fort Kochi. Wander through bustling fish markets, marvel at the graceful Chinese fishing nets, and soak in stories from a guided heritage walk through charming Dutch, Portuguese, and British-era streets. Explore treasures like Santa Cruz Basilica, Bastion Bungalow, Dutch Cemetery, and the vibrant Dhobi Ghat still alive with tradition.
Savour a delicious lunch at a cosy Fort Kochi café, then dive into the rich heritage of Mattancherry — from the serene Paradesi Synagogue and lively Jew Town spice markets to the regal Dutch Palace. Watch the making of the world’s largest incense stick, discover traditional Uruli metal crafts, and meet local artists creating one-of-a-kind bull-head wall art.
Shop for antiques, handicrafts, and souvenirs, and glide back on the Water Metro with memories steeped in history, culture, and unforgettable coastal vibes. 🚤🏖️
