Walk around Jew Street in old Kochi and you'll find window shopping paradise....window shopping because the prices are too high for most. The items handed down from Travancore royalty, silver ornaments starting at Rs.1000/-. This is the hub of trade for even spices. Here, the market rates prevail - bargaining isn't going to bring down the price much when it's set high from the outset.
So just roam around and breathe in the perfumes and oils in their coloured stoppers and the fragrance of spice, look at the portraiture and brass antiques and do your buying elsewhere....
