Current Travel Situation
Slovenia to Philippines: What You Need to Know
The Philippines is an archipelago of 7,641 islands and one of Southeast Asia's most spectacular diving and island-hopping destinations. Slovenian divers and beach lovers are drawn by Palawan (El Nido and Coron), consistently rated among the world's best island destinations, and the Visayas region (Bohol, Cebu, Siargao). Filipino culture is uniquely warm and English-speaking, making it unusually accessible for European independent travellers. The rice terraces of Banaue (UNESCO) and the chocolate hills of Bohol add cultural and natural depth.
How to Get There
El Nido (Palawan): boat tours through the Bacuit Archipelago lagoons (Tour A for the Big and Small Lagoon; Tour C for the Shimizu Island cave). Coron (Palawan): Japanese WWII shipwreck diving (Okikawa Maru, Irako), Kayangan Lake (the clearest lake in Asia), and Twin Lagoon. Bohol: Chocolate Hills (view from Carmen observation deck), Philippine tarsier sanctuary, and the Loboc River floating restaurant cruise. Siargao: Cloud 9 world-famous surf break, Magpupungko rock pools at low tide, and island hopping to Naked Island.
Money & Banking
The Philippines uses the peso (PHP). As of 2025, EUR 1 is approximately PHP 60. The Philippines is very affordable; a seafood grilled platter at a local restaurant costs PHP 300-600 (EUR 5-10). Budget guesthouses start at PHP 800-1,500 per night. Island-hopping tours cost PHP 600-1,500 per person. Carry PHP cash; ATMs are scarce on smaller islands.
Practical Tips
Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in Manila is the main gateway, served via Singapore (Changi), Hong Kong, Doha, or Dubai. Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, and AirAsia Philippines offer extensive domestic routes from Manila to Palawan (Puerto Princesa, El Nido), Cebu, and Siargao. Fast ferries connect Cebu to Bohol (Tagbilaran, 2 hours) and other Visayan islands.
