Old Harbour Hotel
Fort Cochin, Kerala
Cochin is not the most action-packed town but being at the Old Harbour means you are perfectly placed – by the seafront and very close to the ferry terminals – to get out and explore.
For more things to do in Kochi see our travel guide here.
Explore:
The hotel is just a minute or two from the so-called ‘Chinese’ fishing nets, and no more than a 10 min walk to the Santa Cruz Basilica. Mattancherry and Jew Town are all a short ride away – jump in an auto-rickshaw to get there.
The top end of the island of Cochin (or Kochi), is known as ‘Fort Cochin’ and is dotted with historic buildings and churches on its narrow, tree-lined streets. Wander round this pleasant area and get your bearings.
Beach:
The beach in Cochin is just a 10-minute walk away. It is not a huge attraction (busy and dirty) but the views at sunset can be lovely. Take a camera!
For a proper, clean beach, get a ferry over to Vypin island – across from the fishing nets – and head up to Cherai Beach for the day.
Relax and pamper yourself:
Old Harbour’s top floor massage rooms are private and well equipped with a massage table and shower. Ayurvedic treatments are also available. The pool is lovely, and a great place to swim, read or simply fall asleep.
