Kep was established by the French in 1908, and today Kep is mainly popular with domestic tourists who go there for holidays. You can swim or just relax on the warm beach, and Kep offers great seafood and magnificent views of the nearby mountains and beaches. Taking a boat to the offshore islands is also a wonderful experience. Another itinerary, which should not be missed, is an excursion to the serene waterfalls of TekChhou situated about 10 km from Kompot. (see above).
