Getting there & away
Kep is 25km from Kampot, 172km from Phnom Penh and 49km from the Vietnamese town of Ha Tien. The Cambodia–Vietnam border at Ha Tien has been open to tourists since mid-2007.
Both Phnom Penh Sorya Transport and Hour Lean run Phnom Penh–Kampot buses that pass through Kep (they also serve Angk Tasaom, near Takeo). On Phnom Penh Sorya, the fare to Kampot (40 minutes) is US$2; arrival times from Phnom Penh are variable. Buses stop at Kep Beach, where motos await, but you can ask to get off near the Riel bar or Kep Lodge. Ticketing is handled by guesthouses or Sunny Tour.
To get to Kampot by moto/tuk tuk/taxi, count on paying US$3/6/10 one-way (a bit more if the driver speaks English). Drivers hang out at the northern end of Kep Beach and at the Crab Market, but it’s easiest to have your guesthouse make arrangements.
