Kerala Travel | Exploring Kochi - Fort Kochi,Vasco da Gama square,Princess Street,Jew Street | EP 05
Kochi , also known as Cochin , is a major port city on the south-west coast of India. It is part of the district of Ernakulam in the state of Kerala. Called the Queen of the Arabian Sea, Kochi was an important spice trading centre on the west coast of India from the 14th century onward, and maintained a trade network with Arab merchants from the pre-Islamic era. Occupied by the Portuguese in 1503, Kochi was the first of the European colonies in colonial India.
We tried to cover quite a lot in a day in Kochi. Although a day is not enough to explore the beautiful City of Kochi and there are so much to do, but we tried our best.
We started early morning with a walk along the Fort Kochi Beach and then reached Vasco da gama square.
Then we headed to see the St. Francis church.
After vising the church we checked out the Chinese fishing net.
We also made it a point to visit the Princess Street and Jew Street. Both these streets have many souvenir shops and boutiques. Jew street is famous for spice and antique shops.
Then we explored the city a bit and and with this our trip came to an end.
There is a lot more at about Kerala tourism then this episode, we spent some days in Kerala, explored sightseeing, places of Tourist interest, sea beaches, adventure sports, backwaters and a lot more.
Just in case if you missed any episode of Kerala, you may have a look at the Playlist for the same, link below.

FORT KOCHI KERALA: Live Dolphins, Beach and HOTEL FORTE KOCHI
A completely unplanned trip, turning out to be one of the best I have been on so far. Here's the first episode from the gods own country Kerala and its very own exotic little beach side town of Fort Kochi Kerala!
Details about Travel / How to get to Fort Kochi:
Fort Kochi can be accessed from Ernakulam city through roadways and water ways. Private buses and government transport buses travel from different parts of the city to Fort Kochi. Fort Kochi is about 1 and half hours drive from the Kochi International Airport, Kerala.
More Information:
A mix of old houses built by the Portuguese, Dutch and British can be seen in the the streets of Fort Kochi. St Francis Church was built in 1503 by the Portuguese as a Catholic church. Vasco da Gama was once buried in this church which now falls under the Church of South India and is one of the national monuments. So Fort Kochi definitely has a lot of history and art to it. Even some of the streets have amazing mural art on their walls.
The place we stayed in is called ‘Forte Kochi’, a small yet beautiful property, with beautiful décor and amazing staff. Their in-house restaurant ‘The Jetty’ is pretty good too but may be not on par as some of the other places in Fort Kochi and Kerala. But what it lacks in the taste, they somehow make it up in the helpfulness of the staff and the chef. I always had them coming over and asking me if I need anything specific for my breakfasts and constantly taking my feedback which was great.
Hotel Forte Kochi is unmistakeably located at Princess Street in Fort Kochi. The bright and colourful décor outside, makes it such a scenic location for photographs and shoots. I have actually seen many pre-wedding photographers do their cinematic shoots over here, that too just during my stay here.
And within 5 walking mins, is the Fort Kochi Beach. I was honestly having high expectations from the beach side place, but its not been handled properly. The place is littered around everywhere. Something we people have taken for granted. To have such a beautiful beach and then litter it around is something we all should be ashamed of. The beach has such scenic presence to itself, with Chinese fishing nets spread across its coastline, and olden boilers used for cranes kept at the beach as monuments. Definitely something the Kerala Tourism department should look into, to save this amazing place.
There are tons of shops around whether it is on the streets – or small boutique stores. And sometimes it’s a good thing to bargain. There is a street called the Food Court, where there local restaurants service fresh seafood, usually daily catches, directly from the sea. I would suggest not to try other cuisines like Italian or Chinese from these local joints as they are certainly not upto the mark. But if you want to taste the very local authentic food of Fort Kochi, then this may be a good option.
There is so much coming up in these Kerala series Vlogs. And I’ll try my best to cover them all and present it to you’ll. So if you haven’t become part of the channel yet, do Subscribe. I’ll talk to you’ll in the next vlog!

...ABOUT US...
Hi, we are Erin and Francis, aka the Honeymooners! We are a couple travelling the world for a year on our honeymoon.
In 2016 we travelled throughout South East Asia, and trekked all over the Himalayas of Nepal. We documented the entire trip on our GoPro for our family and friends, but decided to post it all onto YouTube just for a bit of fun as well.
We are newlyweds, happily married since June 2019, and are now living out our dream goal we have had since our last overseas trip, of travelling the world for an entire year on our honeymoon. We have worked so hard towards this goal and want to document the entire journey with you all, so you can join us as we leave our footprints all over this beautiful world.
The world we live in is so diverse and rich with culture, yet the more we travel and the more people we meet along the way, we realise that people share so many similarities no matter what their background is. We love showing these similarities while expressing their cultural differences and hope to capture those moments and show the world.

David Hall is a beautiful old Dutch bungalow that has been restored and has taken on a new life as a cultural centre with a gallery for contemporary art, with a focus on providing a platform for young artists. With its café and space for performing arts, the historic building could be an inspiring, vibrant meeting place for fresh talent and lovers of art.
History
In the 16th and 17th centuries, when European powers were trying to establish their trading might over India, the Dutch were drawn to the land rich in pepper and other spices. The Dutch wished to establish a settlement on the coast of Malabar, where they might be territorial sovereigns, as well as traders without being subject to the “rapacious exactions of the Muhammadan [Mughal] government, or the neighbourhood of their successful rivals, the English”. Cochin was a suitable spot. They wrested Cochin from the Portuguese in January 1663. In 1669, Hendrik Adriaan Van Rheede Tot Drakestein was appointed the first independent commander, giving him military and civil administrative rights, in the region. The forts were the centres of administration and trade and, apart from coastal towns, no land was taken possession of. According to historic accounts, Van Rheede was the only Dutchman who had personal and social contacts with the local people, and a thorough knowledge of the land.
He brought together a large collection of plants in the garden of the company, probably laying the seeds for the Hortus Malabaricus, a comprehensive volume on the flora of Kerala, with emphasis on their medical properties. The ethno-medical information presented in Hortus Malabaricus was extracted from palm-leaf manuscripts maintained by Itty Achudan Vaidyan, who was introduced to Henrik van Rheede by Veera Kerala Varma the then ruler of the erstwhile state of Kochi. The book was compiled with the help of a team of nearly a hundred local and foreign residents under the tutelage of Achudan, who thoroughly searched the region for specimens. It was brought to Cochin, where a Carmelite named Mathaeus sketched them. The book brought under its mission physicians, professors of medicine and botany, amateur botanists, illustrators, engravers and clergymen. In fact, in return for the help offered by the latter, Van Rheede gave permission for erecting churches. The Chathiat Mouth Carmel Church was constructed on such an agreement in 1673. But Dutch traders largely meant business, and they razed Portuguese structures to the ground. Two-thirds of Cochin is believed to have been demolished. The Dutch East India Company is believed to have erected three houses sometime between the late 1670s and 1690s using some of the material from demolished churches, and David Hall is what remains of the three houses. What purpose the structure served is not known today, though historical hearsay suggests it could have been the residence of Van Rheede or a military hospice for Dutch soldiers. The structure was christened David Hall when it was bought by the Jewish Koder family, who lived there.
