About Cochin
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Undoubtedly the commercial hub of Kerala, the city of Cochin is where
ancient civilization gracefully mingles with modern life. Right from
its early years, Kochi had links with the outside world. Arabs,
Chinese, Dutch, British and Portuguese seafarers have graced the
shores of Cochin and have left behind them a legacy in the form of
buildings, churches, and synagogues which have become some of Cochin's
favourite tourist attractions. Several hill resorts, game sanctuaries
and other spots of tourist interest are in close proximity to
Cochin. It has an international airport and several business and
luxury hotels catering to different tastes.
