Accra - Senya Breku
Fort Good Hope - The journey begins with a visit to Fort Good Hope to delve into the history of this triangular fort. The Dutch established a long-term alliance with the Agona State to construct a permanent fort at Beraku. They accepted the invitation due to the potential for a thriving trade in gold, ivory, and slaves from the Akyem kingdom, located beyond Agona, and because private traders were exploiting the lack of Dutch forts between Accra and Apam.
Fort Amsterdam - From Breku, the next stop is Fort Amsterdam, a World Heritage Site located in Kormantin, Central Region, Ghana. Built by the English between 1638 and 1645 as Fort Cormantin or Fort Courmantyne, it was seized by Admiral Michiel de Ruyter of the Dutch West India Company in 1665.
