INDIA - Kerala - Kochi - Fort Kochi
Kochi (or Cochin) is a cosmopolitan city in Kerala with a bustling commercial port. Kochi is the financial capital of Kerala and, with a population of more than 2 million, the biggest urban agglomeration in the state. It is one of the major tourist destinations in India. Kochi merchants began trading in spices such as black pepper and cardamom with the Arabs, Dutch, Phoenicians, Portuguese, and Chinese more than 600 years ago. This helped Kochi to prosper and to become the gateway to old India. The Portuguese, Dutch, French, and British all made their settlements in Fort Kochi (Fort Cochin) and today it is the most visited part of the city with the colonial charms of Fort Kochi with arrays of traditional European bungalows and alleys
