About Kochi (Cochin — Queen of the Arabian Sea)

Kochi (Cochin) — celebrated for centuries as the 'Queen of the Arabian Sea' — is an ancient coastal trading port in Kerala where Portuguese, Dutch, British, Arab, Chinese, and Jewish maritime influences converge. From the cantilevered Chinese Fishing Nets silhouetted against tropical sunsets to the 450-year-old Paradesi Synagogue in Jew Town and the vibrant heritage art cafes of Fort Kochi, Kochi is the cultural gateway to Kerala. Enjoy Kathakali dance dramas, harbor ferry rides, and boutique spice shopping.
