Cape Town's little slice of Greece

One of my favourite holiday destinations in Cape Town is Langebaan.  This little coastal town is called the “jewel of the West Coast” and for good reason. Langebaan is absolutely beautiful. An hour drive out of Cape Town and you will find yourself in a terrain very similar to that of Greece.  In fact, the terrain is so different that you don’t feel like you are in Cape Town anymore. Langebaan is bordered by the West Coast National Park and has a huge boat-friendly turquoise lagoon which flows into the ocean. One gets the best of both worlds.

Skatepark

It has everything you could possibly look for in a family holiday destination. One can take part in a multitude of outdoor activities such as kite surfing, boating, bird watching, fishing, game drives, horseback riding on the beach and  a fossil park visit. Other activities include shopping , partying at local pubs and dining at its many stunning restaurants. For kids there is a skatepark and a waterpark. There is even a casino for those who are feeling lucky. There is always something to keep you busy.

I recommend that everyone tick Langebaan of their holiday list. It is a must! There is no doubt that you will return there again and again!
