Beaches in Yogyakarta Jogja is not famous for its beaches.

Non the less does the coast offers some great beach scenarios ----- DO NOT SWIM there - very powerful currents!

Borobudur and Prambanan in Yogyakarta



If you are in Yogyakarta you are obviously visiting Borobudur and Prambanan.
There isn't anything I can say that already 1000 books and travel logs haven't said.

Just two things to add.

Gorontalo - a hub in Sulawesi


Gorontalo:
If you have nothing to do in Gorontalo don't go there but as it is very likely that you end up there when traveling in Sulawesi - here a few tips.

Togean Islands - Sea Gypsies and the Blue Lagoon


The Togean or Togian Islands are in the north of Sulawesi.

If I would ever call anything tropical paradise with all the romantic stereotypes and ideas attached to the word
- THE TOGIANS ARE EXACTLY THAT.

Though for this one needs to travel quite a bit. By plain (lion air) to either Gorontalo in the north or Luwuk or Poso in the south.
