Colchester

Eastern Cape is crisscrossed with cultural and natural attractions, from tourist hotspots to lesser known delights. Paterson, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the southwest, and Port Elizabeth, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the northeast of Colchester are also waiting to be discovered.

Port Elizabeth, is another interesting spot to discover. It is about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Colchester and offers a diverse range of things to do and see, including Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Humewood Beach and Summerstrand Beach. St. George's Cricket Ground, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University and Port Elizabeth City Hall are good places to visit.

To really understand the local customs, take the time to stop in at the region's restaurants. Often, these are good places to meet residents and try popular dishes. Why don't you splash out and order a glass of wine to have with your food? Chardonnay and Merlot are two good options.

Don't forget, if you are planning to be in Colchester around the 30th of November, St Andrews Day is observed then and some attractions may have changed opening hours.

There is no doubt about it, Colchester is an exceptionally beautiful place that will stay dear to your heart forever.
