Kep & Kampot, quiet beach towns

A soothing seaside jewel famed for delicious seafood and absolute relaxation. During Cambodia’s golden years before 1970, this lush coastal region was a seaside playground for the affluent. Kep is known for its famous crab market and idyllic resorts while its neighbour town of Kampot could be the perfect small town - quiet streets, a gentle river and boutique restaurants. Kampot is known for producing some of the best black, red and white pepper in the world and being able to see how it's made up close is an unforgettable experience.
