Aného is a town in southeastern Togo, lying on the Gulf of Guinea near the border with Benin. It is situated about 45 km east of the capital, Lomé, between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Togo in the Maritime Region.
The town was previously known as Anecho, Petit Popo or Little Popo. Its position between the ocean and the lake, close to the Benin border, defines its setting in the far southeast of the country.
