Lagoon And Beach Adventures:
Escape the bustle and hustle of city life and come to Keta-Anloga for a break. Lose yourself on a family holiday in the former fishing village of Keta-Anloga, one of the most enchanting tourism destinations in Ghana. Relax on a majestic, paradisiac, pristine beach, bordered by coconut trees. Get a motorised boat ride on one of the distributaries of River Volta, the Anyanui Channel, through lush mangrove forests that will take you to the mouth of River Volta, a large and picturesque estuary at Ada Foah.
You can also relish yourself with a paddled canoe to some of the amazing
islands like Dudu, Xevikpodzi, Seva, and Anyako, and the artificial ones for the migratory birds from Europe who can come here during the winter. Discover bustling villages and haggle for beautifully crafted items, or simply soak up the natural wonders and get yourself ready for the sunshine on the beach!
The Flavors And Fascinating Experiences of Keta-Anloga:
No holiday in Keta-Anloga is complete without visiting the local markets of Anyanui, Anloga, Woe, and Keta. Take a trip to Atorkor Slave Market, Torkor Atorlia, and Cape St. Paul Lighthouse. End the trip at the Keta Fort, also known as Fort Prinzenstein, with a terribly harrowing story of the history of the infamous transatlantic slave trade and a visit to Emancipation Beach, where we used to celebrate Emancipation Day, now a beach resort, with a dinner of fresh seafood while watching a fascinating display of traditional drumming and dancing.
Discover A Unique, Remarkable, Rich And Vibrant Culture:
With its vibrant mix of Anlo people and European and other African influences, Keta-Anloga is full of amazing cultural experiences. Whether you’re exploring the vibrant markets of Anyanui, Anloga, Woe, or Keta or riding a boat through lush mangroves with your kids, this dreamy destination is great for adventurous city breaks and family-friendly holidays.
Inspire your senses on your all-inclusive holiday in Keta-Anloga with a tour around Tsiame, Anyako, and Seva to see relics of Torgbi Tsali, traditional worship shrines at Atiavi, and German missionary graves at EP Church at Anyako. Immerse yourself in the local culture with family workshops in cookery, Kente weaving, lagoon fishing, etc. See and explore the nostalgic charms and rich history of the people through their Hogbetsotso festival in the first week of November.
Unique Jaw-dropping Landscape, Seascape, and Lagoonscape:
Keta is blessed with plains, fauna, flora, lagoons, and beaches. To the south, enjoy family holidays by the beach, overlooking the deep blue waters and the horizon.
Watch the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean early in the morning. It is a beautiful scene to behold. Not only that, catch a glimpse of the sun setting over the Keta Lagoon, with the rays drawing wonderful and colourful paths over the wavy surface of the lagoon.
That scene alone is healing and therapeutic. To the North, explore the
Keta Lagoon and the islands within it, both natural and man-made, and the adjoining wetlands as far as the eye can see. To the west, get lost in scenic mangrove forests; to the east, salt mining activities.
