Nathans Holiday Home:-About Us.

While you are in Fort Cochin, feast your eyes on the wonderful architecture in Fort Cochin and Mattancherry. A visit to these places should figure prominently in your itinerary. It is an amazing blend of the Arab, British, Portuguese and Dutch legacy.

To get a taste of the Portuguese architecture, you can head towards The Santa Cruz Basilica. This five hundred year old church survived the Dutch invasion. These followers of John Calvin, the traders of Holland were probably, enamored by the beautiful stained glass embellishments.

The Jew Street, the Dutch Cemetery and the Princess Street are some of other coveted tourist hot spots. Ernakulam, the buzzing city, is easily accessible from Fort Cochin, exudes generation next verve and enthusiasm with a plethora of theatres, dining joints and shopping havens. Broadway is a shopper’s paradise, fragrant with an old world charisma.

Amble down the seventy-five feet Marine Drive or lean back to feast your eyes on the Ernakulam –Vypeen boat sail at a distance. If you are interested to bolster your knowledge about the nomenclature of Ernakulam, a visit to the Shiva Temple is a must.

Rishinaga-kulam, the name of the temple’s pool of water gives Ernakulam its name. The legend has it that, a mystic gained freedom from the shackles of a curse. January is an ideal month to visit as the temple gears up to revel in the eight day celebrations. The Pakalpooram, a blend of panchavadyam, and pandimelam, is an unique experience.
