Kozhikode, also known as Calicut, is a port city on the west coast of India. Situated in the Indian state of Kerala, on the Arabian Sea and below the Wayanad Hills, it’s close to beautiful countryside, beaches and several historic sites.

Originally part of the Chera Empire, one of the area’s claims to fame is that the Portuguese explorer, Vasco da Gamma, landed at Kappad, just outside of Kozhikode. As a result of the discovery of this new sea route, Kozhikode became a major trading post for spices and, during the Middle Ages, the city became known as ‘The City of Spices’. Kozhikode has been colonized by the Dutch, British and Portuguese and these international influences can still be seen in much of its architecture.
