Joyce's Kochi Excursion for Cruise passengers. Pick & Drop @ Ship.
Duration
5 to 8 hours
Overview
-
This half-day tour of the city will give you an idea of how years of visiting explorers and traders have made Cochin into the cultural melting pot that it is today Fort Cochin, the first European settlement in India. This region has changed hands between the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British, each of which have left their mark on the architecture.
In Fort Kochi at the beach you are taken to Chinese Fishing Nets.
Chinese fishing nets dotted along the shoreline that are still used in the Kerala backwaters. Move on to St Francis Church, which was built by General Alfonso de Albuquerque in 1500. He arrived from Portugal with half a dozen ships to build the first European church in India
You’ll head to Jewish town by coach.
You’ll then move on to Asia’s best preserved synagogue, which is paved with hand-painted blue-and-white porcelain tiles, before perusing the shops in Jew Town
The final stop is at Mattancherry at the Dutch Palace. It’s home to Hindu murals that cover entire walls
