Central Java and Yogyakarta

Central Java is the cultural heartland of Javanese culture. With smoking volcanoes, verdant rice fields, historical cities and towns and heritage sites of international importance, it contains something for everyone.

Ninety kilometer northeast of Java lays Karimunjawa national Marine Park. Of its 27 islands, only seven are inhabited, the largest of which is the eponymous Karimunjawa Island. The island offers incredible snorkeling and scuba diving, although they are also good places just to lie around and soak up the sun.

While Yogyakarta gets most of the attention from tourist, the smaller town of Semarang is not to be missed. Its old town contains centuries-old Dutch and Chinese buildings and a sprawling residential area that looks down to the sea from its hillside perch. Both towns feature important museums and palaces that speak of the traditions maintained by their residents.

The UNESCO – listed Borobudur and Prambanan temples are fascinating reminders of the long and complex religious history of the Javanese. Brorobudur, the largest man-made object in the Southern Hemisphere, is a huge stone Buddhist pyramid set amid green hills and decorated with hundreds of relief carvings depicting important religious lessons. Prambanan is smaller but no less important, a remnant of the vast Hindu empire that once stretched across Java.

For those looking to be less lavish, public transportation between the towns and important sites is frequent, heap and generally safe. Buses run to and from Yogya and Semarang to Borobudur, Merapi and other areas. It is possible to hire a taxi for the day to take you to some attractions, although others will require tougher vehicles.

Yogyakarta has a functioning, metered taxi service. It also has buses, motorcycle taxis (probably not for the faint of heart) and becak and delman that once common to most Indonesian cities but is now often hard to see in the larger metropolises.
