In Reply to: Is Yogyakarta appropriate fora day trip? posted by nyc_to_bali on Sunday, 26. June 2005 at 03:32 Bali Time:
There is too much to see in the area for only 1 day. You need a day to go to Borobudur which is about an hour outside of Yogya. You need a day to see Yogya (Water Palace and other places in the city). You might also want to go to Prambanan to see the Hindu temple there -- outside of Yogya also. You might want to go to Parantritis Beach which is a trip outside the city. You might want to take a 2-day side trip to the Dieng Plateau. You might want to go to the hill station at Kaliurang at the base of Mt. Merapi. There is just a lot to see.
