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.
