Elmina and Cape Coast Castles / Dungeons
Two of the country’s most famous tourist sites, the Elmina and Cape Coast fortresses that holds in its ancient walls the most tragic and brutal periods in the history of humanity — the transatlantic slave trade.

The Akosombo Dam, also known as the Volta Dam, is a hydroelectric dam on the Volta River in southeastern Ghana in the Akosombo gorge and part of the Volta River Authority. The construction of the dam flooded part of the Volta River Basin, and led to the subsequent creation of Lake Volta. 
 
 
 
 
Amedzofe Village
Amedzofe, one of the highest villages in Ghana at more than 600 meters, is perched at the foot of Mt. Gemi. Visitors can hike up the mountain and to a lovely waterfall in the valley. The 4-meter-tall large cross on the top of Mt. Gemi was constructed by German missionaries in the 1930s, along with a church and a bell tower situated on one of the highest points in the village. Both the mountain and the church site offer dramatic views all the way to Lake Volta in clear weather.
