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.
