Fort Kochi is a seafront quarter of Portuguese, Dutch and British buildings, with Chinese fishing nets on the shore. Its old merchant houses and warehouses have become some of India's most atmospheric small hotels, with courtyards, antique furniture and sea breezes.
Stay in Fort Kochi itself to walk everywhere: the nets, the galleries, the synagogue in Mattancherry and the cafes. Most hotels have just a few rooms, so book early in the season.
November to February is the best time. The Kochi-Muziris Biennale, held every two years, fills the town with art from December.
