Fort Kochi Beach is a beautiful and serene destination to start your itinerary. Relax on the sandy shores or go for a swim in the Arabian Sea. The beach provides gorgeous views of the Chinese fishing nets, which are functional fishing nets introduced by traders from the court of Kublai Khan.
St. Francis Church is the oldest European church in India and was constructed in the 16th century. The serene atmosphere and architecture make it an ideal place for some peace and contemplation. It was initially built by the Portuguese before the Dutch renovated it.
Mattancherry Palace, also known as the Dutch Palace, is a two-story combination of European and Indian architectural styles. The palace museum houses many historical paintings, murals, and artifacts that depict the Rajas of Kochi. It is worth taking some time to admire the art pieces on the walls and the ceilings.
Hill Palace Museum is a majestic museum flaunting the glory of the Kochi Maharaja’s younger days. The interiors of the palace, which exhibit traditional Kerala architecture and the beautiful gardens, are worth a visit. The museum houses jewelry, weapons, artifacts, paintings, and other fascinating pieces.
Cherai Beach is a peaceful destination with calm waves and palm groves. You can go for a relaxing walk or rent a bike and explore the surrounding area. It’s also a popular spot for dolphin watching and boating. Don’t forget to catch a stunning sunset by the beach.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Paradesi Synagogue, Chinese fishing nets, or going boating in the backwaters of Kochi. On the other hand, if you have less time, we suggest skipping the Hill Palace Museum, which is a bit farther from the city center. Remember to apply sunscreen and carry a water bottle with you while visiting these destinations. Enjoy a relaxing two days in Eranamkulam.
