Why hire a car with a driver here
Kannur is known for its quiet beaches, handloom weaving and the Theyyam ritual performances held in village shrines from November to May. Many of these places are scattered along small coastal and inland roads with little public transport. A car with a local driver helps you find Theyyam venues, reach Muzhappilangad drive-in beach, and visit the old forts at your own pace. The new airport at Mattanur is a fair drive from town, so a planned pickup is useful too.
