About Keta

Visit the bustling Keta Market at dawn to see fishermen bring in their catch, or join a guided tour of the fishing villages.

Meals are often communal. It's polite to wash your hands before eating and accept food with your right hand.

Try 'akple' (corn dough) with 'fetri detsi' (spicy fish sauce), or 'boli' (grilled plantain) with peanuts.

Dress modestly, ask before joining dances, and avoid interrupting rituals. A small donation to organizers is appreciated.

Eat at local chop bars, use shared taxis, and bargain politely at markets. Avoid tourist-heavy spots for souvenirs.

No, but avoid photographing military personnel. A small fee may be required for professional equipment.

Learn basic Ewe phrases like 'Woé zɔ' (Good morning) and 'Akpe' (Thank you). Gestures and smiles go a long way.

Support local artisans, avoid single-use plastics, and respect wildlife at the lagoon. Use eco-friendly sunscreens for swimming.

It's safer to hire a local guide who knows the waterways and can arrange canoe tours to bird-watching spots.

Light, modest clothing is best. Women often wear colorful wraps (kente or batik). Avoid revealing beachwear outside resort areas.
