seems to pass more slowly, with its history and
Javanese culture being a source of inspiration
to many artists through the centuries.
The
proximity of the world famous temples of
Borobudur and Prambanan, as well as numerous
other temples dating back to the 10th
century, has brought thousands of visitors to
this city.
The
active volcano Merapi and popular beaches can be
reached in just over an hour and make a good
one-day excursion.
Not
to forget the silversmiths of Kota Gede or
Malioboro Street, a shopping paradise for local
handicrafts, close to the Sultan’s Palace; The
Kraton.
