Antique shops South India

This is the famous "Thieves' Market" where bargain-hungry tourists rummage around in the hope of finding Ming vases and Murano at low prices. The main avenue is Mutton Street, flanked by small stalls resembling musty attics. Others offer authentic Victorian furniture. Be aware that most of the shopkeepers are pretty smart and can make short work of the amateur aesthete! You can also find old Bollywood posters, especially in the A1 Corner store.

A real Ali Baba's cave which can be visited like a museum. This antique shop sells old or not handicrafts, furniture, 400 years old temple pillars, kettuvalam (traditional boat)... However, there has been a clear decrease in activity over the years, and the objects are less and less numerous. The building is an old "Ginger House", a place where ginger was stored before being transported directly to the ships. This is the name that Mr. Majnu chose for his restaurant, which has a breathtaking view of Willingdon Island.
