The first European to reach India by sea was Vasco da Gama, who arrived in Calicut (now Kozhikode) in 1498. His journey established a direct maritime route from Europe to Asia, which significantly impacted trade and exploration. However, if you're referring to the first European to sail to a specific country, that would vary depending on the country in question. For example, Christopher Columbus is often credited with being the first European to reach the Americas in 1492.
