India

Cochin is one of the most fascinating cities of coastal South India - it is a city bearing the indelible marks of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Jewish traditions.One such example are the older parts of the Fort Cochin area, which has more or less existed just as it originally did when it was first opened 1000 years ago. This part of the city reflects an unusual blend of medieval Portugal, Dutch and English country life grafted on to the tropical Malabar Coast. Cochin is also known as 'Queen of the Arabian Sea' because of its natural harbor being one of the finest.
