Kpetoe (the �K� is silent) is a small town an half hour away from Ho, close to the Togo Border. It is mainly known for its kente weaving and the quality of the cloth sold there. An attraction in itself are the weavers who sit outside and weave kente on their large looms. If you�re coming from the Ashanti Region you�ll notice how different the kente is here. That�s because Volta Region kente is very different; it�s thicker and earth tone colors are used.

What�s best about Kpetoe is that most people don�t know about it. The locals don�t rely on tourists� money so there�s no hassle at all. When you arrive in the town you can walk around freely and be the only foreigner there. You�ll be surprised at how cheap the kente is here compared to other places in Ghana. If you bargain well you can walk away with a beautiful strip of Volta kente, fresh off the loom for around 30,000 � 40,000 cedis (between $4 - $5).

• Kpetoe doesn't have any interesting sites; just the fact that it's one of the original Volta region kente weaving towns attracts people to it. You can walk around the town and watch people weave kente right outside and even buy it from them if you want. And most foreigners don't come this far into the Volta region to purchase kente so there's little or no hassle to buy anything.

Transportation: The town of Kpetoe is very accessible. Take a Tro-Tro from Accra to Ho then in Ho transfer onto a Tro-Tro going to Kpetoe. It's an half hour drive from Ho on a good paved road and the Tro-Tro drops you off right in the middle of town.

(NOTE: Remember were the Tro-Tro drops you off because you will have to wait at that exact spot to catch one back to Ho. There's no Tro-Tro station in Kpetoe.)
