Chennai Holidays

Widely considered the birthplace of Indian cuisine, Chennai holidays offer the opportunity to learn all about food - Indian style. While staying in the city of Chennai (formerly known as Madras) you’ll find high-quality, inexpensive restaurants by the dozen. When you're not busy stuffing your face full of fabulous food, Marina Beach - the world's second longest - is well worth a visit. And if you plan to visit Madras only briefly, don’t miss the temple of Kapalishwara, the Syrian Christian hill shrine of St. Thomas or the 17th century Fort St. George (the first English fortress in India).
