Aside from the capital town of the province of Aklan, Kalibo is better know for its annual Ati-Atihan Festival and as gateway to the world famous, Boracay Island. This bustling provincial and commercial center hosts the Kalibo International Airport, the major transit point going Caticlan (enroute to Boracay) to Boracay and nearby provinces of Antique and Capiz.
