Das Eigentum — Hôtel Hokaa
Hôtel Hokaa is a modest three-star in Aflao, close to the Togo border, with a clean, no-fuss lobby that smells of floor polish and instant coffee. It suits budget-conscious travellers passing through Lomé or doing cross-border business; USP is proximity to the border post and the night market a five-minute walk away. The vibe is functional – think tiled floors, plastic chairs, and a guarded car park.
Chroniken von Aflao
Aflao grew as a trading post on the Ghana-Togo border after the colonial partition of the Ewe homeland in the 1880s. Its architecture is a mix of breeze-block shops, improvised market stalls, and concrete houses with corrugated roofs. Culturally, it's a hub for cross-border trade, with the daily market drawing vendors from both countries. The Anlo-Ewe festival, Hogbetsotso, is celebrated nearby in November, but Aflao itself has no major annual event. Contemporary identity remains tied to its role as a gateway – busy, dusty, and pragmatic.

Top-Attraktionen 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.
