Top Attractions in Aflao
💡 Look for woven Ewe kente strips sold by women near the fabric section. They're genuine and half the price of Accra. Go before 10am when it's less crowded.
💡 Go early morning (6-7am) when fishermen haul in their catch. You can buy fresh fish directly from them for cheap. Bring a hat and water.
💡 Don't take photos of the actual border post (it can cause trouble with officials). Instead, stand 50 metres back and get shots of the market stalls and crowds. Best light is late afternoon.
💡 Take the track by the Catholic church, then turn left at the water tower. Stop at the wooden bridge—it's the prime viewing point. Don't swim: the water is brackish and has some bilharzia risk.
💡 The path starts behind the old cemetery on the Keta Road. Wear trainers because the dirt can be loose. Best at sunrise to avoid the heat and get the cleanest views.
