TRIVIA Did you know that the best tinapa (smoked fish) can be found in Calbayog?

The city also has very fresh scallops and crabs, and delicious bibingka and kalamay y loko made of ground sticky rice, milk, ube, and coconut milk 

TOUCHDOWN You will find tricycles at a designated parking area after coming out of the airport terminal building. This is also the sole means of transport in and around the city 

BY DAY Spend the day lazing around Malajog or Pinkit Beach, and then go shopping for souvenirs made from native and indigenous materials in the public market 

BY NIGHT Tuck into a good dinner at Carlos ‘N Carmelos or grab a pizza meal at Isla Coffee. Afterwards, you can head to the beach for the simple pleasure of walking by the shore  

SLEEP I’s Plant Hotel in Barangay Obrero, or Marju Krisel Hotel and Resort along National Highway, Barangay San Policarpo. Both offer comfortable and affordable accommodations
