Maritime Region

Togo's southern Gulf of Guinea coast, home to Lake Togo, the old town of Aného and a strong Vodun culture.

The Maritime Region lies at Togo's southernmost tip on the Gulf of Guinea, with Tsévié as its capital; the national capital, Lomé, also sits on this coastal strip. The region has lagoons and a coconut-palm-lined coast. On the north shore of Lake Togo, Togoville is a historic town reached by dugout canoe, and Aného, near the Benin border, is a former colonial port where Vodun beliefs remain very much alive. The dry season (about November to March) is the best time to travel. Lomé's international airport and the Port of Lomé are the main gateways, and the coastal highway links Ghana and Benin.
