The Cambodia Coastal Visitors Guide 52nd

The quaint riverine capital of Kampot (page 48) and the oceanside town of Kep (page 60) sit along the coast a couple of hours east of Sihanoukville. The two are so close to each other that they share most of the same sights and attractions, though some are more convenient to one city or the other. For example Bokor is closer to Kampot and the Rabbit Island ferry departs Kep, but as Kampot and Kep are only 30-40 minutes apart, even if you are in the ‘wrong city’ it adds little time. Kep Beach, Rabbit Island, Bokor Hill Station and coun- tryside tours are perhaps the most popular day trips with tour operators offer- ing competitive prices. There are also Angkorian ruins, caves, jungle trekking, bicycling tours, river cruises, secluded beaches, salt pans, pepper plantations and more. Kampot and Kep Things to Do...
