If you are looking to explore Bohol, these nearby destinations from Astoria Bohol offer a refreshing way to experience the island beyond its beaches.
Taking in the Views of the Chocolate Hills
The Chocolate Hills remains to be one of Bohol’s most iconic sights. Visiting early in the year offers cooler weather and clearer views of the rolling landscape.
