Q: Hi guys! I'm a journalism student and I'm going to be doing a short project in Mattancherry. Can somebody tell me about the shops, tourist attractions, and restaurants in the area? I'll also need to travel to Ernakulam during the weekends. Is it a good idea to stay in this locality?
Hello.. travelling to Ernakulam won't be much of a problem as ferry service is provided by the locals at nominal prices. You can also use the public transport for commuting on a daily basis.
Mattancherry is hardly 15 km from Ernakulam. Since you'll be travelling only in the weekends, it won't be an issue as ferries and buses are there. There are a lot of restaurants, shops and hospitals here so your stay will be comfortable!
It's a good idea to stay here. You have to try Hotel New India and Cafe Jew Town when you're here. Mattancherry has a lot for the tourist to see. You can travel in the public buses or ferries to go to Ernakulam. The Jewish Palace is also worth a trip!
Hi there.. Mattancherry is actually a tourist destination, so the infrastructure is quite good here. I would recommend you to try Vijaya Fast Food and Spring Cafe. Also, make sure that you visit the Jew Palace and synagogue while you are here!
Hey, It's wonderful that you've chosen to stay in Mattancherry. You can travel to Ernakulam via boats or buses. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area.
