Cebu Philippines, a Beautiful and Enchanting Destination

Cebu Philippines is a beautiful island province in the Central Visayas Region. Cebu island along with other 167 smaller islands nearby make up the Cebu province. The capital city of the province is Cebu City which is also the Philippines' oldest city. Mactan island, which is just across the water from Cebu City is where the Mactan-Cebu International Airport is. Mactan island and the city of Cebu is joined by the Mactan-Mandawe Bridge and the Marcelo Fernan Bridge.

The province is a favorite destination of international travelers and many of them even moved and settled here. It is no surprise because Cebu Philippines has plenty of lovely attractions that are easily accessible from it's urban metropolis and even the cost of living is amazingly cheap. You'd ask yourself how could this be so affordable? Living in a tropical paradise with the convenience of a first class metropolis is like a dream and perhaps only in Cebu province can you find this a reality.

Some of the famous destinations in the province are Cebu City, Mactan Island, Bantayan Island, Malapascua Island, Moalboa, Kawasan Falls, Sumilon Island, Olango Island and a lot more. Of course there are also first class shopping centers and souvenir shops as well as dining places that offer Cebu's very best. Another tourism draw is Cebu's biggest festival, the Sinulog Festival which is the city's version of the mardi gras that is held yearly in January.

Many of the island destinations in Cebu Philippines have world class dive spots as well as coral reefs that are just by the beaches. The crystal clear waters and the powdery white sandy beaches are just perfect for swimming, snorkeling and other water sport activities. Mountain exploration is another worthwhile activity in Cebu island and the numerous caves found in the province offers a good spelunking experience.

Cebu City is the gateway to this island province through the Cebu sea port and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport located in Mactan Island.

If you are a scuba diver, an avid photographer, or simply a vacationer, Cebu Philippines has all what you want plus a lot more.
