| About Kozhikode (Calicut) Tourism |
Kozhikode or Calicut as it was known to the Europeans was where Vasco da Gama first landed in India in 1498. It was earlier visited by the explorer Marco Polo in 1320 AD who talked about the 'Great Province of Malabar'. Kozhikode
was once the capital of the powerful sea lords known as Zamorins or
Samuthiris, and till date is a prosperous centre of trade and commerce.
The idyllic setting, with the Arabian Sea on the west and Wayanad
Hills on the east, has made it a popular tourist destination over the
years. Today, the town is known for its beautiful countryside, pristine
beaches, historic sites, calm backwaters, wildlife sanctuaries, rivers,
timber industry and ayurvedic medicines.
