Why visit Kochi
Kochi is more than an airport stop. Fort Kochi and Mattancherry bring together Portuguese, Dutch, Jewish, Arab and Kerala influences within a compact heritage area. It is an excellent first or final stop because travellers can walk, eat well, recover from a flight and still experience real history without a long transfer.
