Kozhikode, the most important
region of Malabar in
yesteryears, was the capital of
the powerful Zamorins and also a
prominent trade and commerce
center. It was here at Kappad
that Vasco Da Gama landed in his
search for the spices of the
Orient. Today the serene
beaches, lush green countryside,
historic sites, all combine to
make this a popular tourist
destination filled with a warm
ambience.
Kozhikode Beach is a favourite
haunt of sunset viewers. Its
natural beauty and old world
charm makes it a dreamy place to
visit. The beach has an old
lighthouse and two crumbling
piers running into the sea, each
more than a hundred years old.
Children can be entertained at
the Lions Park and the Marine
Water Aquarium. Should you be
able to drag yourself away from
the beach the city of Calicut or
Kozhikode awaits you with its
unique culture and other
treasures.
