Yogyakarta: The Heart of Java
Yogyakarta, also called Jogjakarta or Jogja, is the heart of Javanese culture and heritage in Indonesia. It was once the capital of the Javanese Mataram Kingdom, and much still remains of the spirit of the old city. Several temples of the older civilizations actually still stand to this day, and serve not just as wonders to be explored, but also as reminders of the rich history, religion and culture of the area. In Yogyakarta, you find a blend of old and traditional, and modern trying to come together without losing the spirit of the Javanese.

Cindy –
Majestic Borobudur is a must visit! I love it. Wished could have stayed longer and learn more in detail about the extensive murals. The sunrise was breathtaking. Simply unique. I wasn't too keen on the parangtritis beach though. A beach where you can ride horses and the ATV ride just not for me.
Yamazaki –
Good tour. Sunrise at Borobudur was perfect. Guide brought us to a quiet corner instead of being together with other tour groups. Parangtritis beach has it's black sand, plenty of ATV and Horse Cart operators there for you to use, however not recommended as ATV was old and I am against animal exploitation. Will come back Yogyakarta soon, there is still the Prambanan Temple and many more to discover.

Everything was good for me; service, tour, meals, hotel, etc. Except for the beach, I'd recommend to request to lokopoko to replace it with something else like more city tour or something. Overall good!
