The beautiful city of Cochin in south-western India is an inspired holiday choice as it is well known for its magnificent beaches, delicious cuisine and elegant colonial architecture. Cochin has been a thriving port since 1341. Kochi, as the city is also known, was an integral link on the spice route, and traders from China, Europe and the Arabian Gulf were quick to snap up local products like black pepper and cardamom. Their influences can be seen in the city's diverse range of churches, mosques and temples, as well as in its architecture.
