The Cape Peninsula is a generally rocky peninsula that juts out for 75 kilometers into the Atlantic Ocean at the south-western extremity of the African continent. At the southern end of the peninsula are Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. On the northern end is the famous Table Mountain, overlooking Cape Town, South Africa. The peninsula was once an island, but about sixty million years ago it was joined to the mainland by the emergence from the sea of the sandy area now known as the Cape Flats. The towns and villages of the Cape Peninsula now form part of greater Cape Town. Airports There are only two airports along the Garden Route, and only one capable of handling jet aircraft. George Airport is a small, functional airport which is the primary gateway for tourists arriving by air. It is served by scheduled flights from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. There is also a smaller airport at Plettenberg Bay. Although there is a scheduled flight from Johannesburg each weekend, the airport is mainly used by private charter aircraft.

Shopping
Boutique shops and flea market stalls are the name of the game along the Garden Route. Knsyna's main road has an eclectic array of shops selling everything from tie dyed kaftans to curios made from locally collected sea shells. A relaxed wander down the main road is a great way to spend a few hours on a hot summers afternoon. it can get very crowded in the peak season though. You can also pay a visit to the Woodmill Lane Shopping Centre or the Knysna Waterfront.

The shops in Plettenberg Bay reflect the fact that this is no ordinary seaside holiday town. With the so-called "millionaire's row" just up the hill, Plett is where to go if you're looking for boutique beachwear. There are numerous craft and farm stalls all the way along the stretch of N2 freeway that runs through the Garden route, so take the time to stop off now and again and explore these smaller traders. Usually nestled up against the indigenous forest, a quick browse makes for an excellent break to your journey.

Weather
The Garden Route has a Mediterranean maritime climate with moderately warm summers and mild winters. The Garden Route is one of the richest rainfall regions in South Africa. The rain, brought by the humid sea-winds from the Indian Ocean, falls at the weather side of the mountain slopes. The western part of the Garden Route belongs to the winter rain zone of the Western Cape. The closer one gets to Port Elizabeth, the more the rainy season shifts towards the summer months. However, one can basically expect some rain throughout the year. The best time to travel is in the spring and summer months (from September to April). The rest of the year is rather cool and wet.
