Kollam is a little town so if you have some spare time it's worth doing a little walk;
there are a few small tempels and there is also a clocktower and spice warehouses( which area smells pretty good.

This eight hour trip starts at 10.30 am and arrives in Alleppey at around 6.30 pm. You can also do it from alleppey to Kollam.
There are two stops. A lunchbreak at a lakeside restaurant and a teastop.(these prices are not included)
The cruise costs 300 roepies per person;

At Kerala one of the must do is take backwater trip,to enjoy beautiful scenic village,and being away from city life.
This is Quilan Boat Jetty.
Its near to Kollam bus stand,and 3kmfrom Railway staion.If wanna take boat ride one can choose regular boat service,
its like bus service,each village it stops, inexpensive.No need of booking,
just get in and took ticket,can get down any village,and catch the return back.
The one longest route is Quillan to Alleppy the best backwater water scenic :) route.
So many private Ferry operators are there,best try first Goverment one,office is inside the Ferry station.
To hire houseboat you have book early.

Second Visit to Quilon.. in search of some history
The earlier travellers from the 13th century had noticed a thriving community of Jews at Quilon but alas nothing remains of their erstwhile presence. I was not even able to find someone knowledgeable...
