Photograph by Douglas Faulkner, courtesy of the Belau National Museum. If you are flying into Palau you actually land right in the State of Airai. The airport here serves most of Palau. But this does not give you a sense of Airai's relative location to Koror State, the population center of Palau.

So let us start our journey in Koror state, where most visitors will reside.
