Day1
Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA)
@Papazon
Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) is a gateway that beautifully blends modernity with a touch of traditional Javanese culture. I was impressed by its spacious and clean facilities, making it a comfortable stop for both arrivals and departures. One standout feature is the airport's art displays, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the region. Transportation to and from the airport is convenient, with options ranging from taxis to buses. As soon as you arrive in the area, you will be sold a SIM card, and you will not have to worry about internet access.

Malioboro Yogyakarta
@Papazon
Malioboro in Yogyakarta is a vibrant and bustling street that encapsulates the spirit of the city. I found Malioboro to be an enchanting mix of traditional and modern. Lined with an array of street vendors selling everything from local crafts to delicious street food, it's a paradise for shoppers and foodies alike. The street is always lively, with musicians and artists contributing to its lively atmosphere.
However, it's important to note that it can get quite crowded, especially during evenings and weekends. This might be overwhelming for some, but it's part of the charm and energy of Malioboro. The street is also a great place to interact with locals and immerse yourself in the local culture. Whether you're looking to shop for unique souvenirs, taste local cuisine, or just soak in the lively ambiance, Malioboro is a must-visit spot in Yogyakarta.

Bale Raos - The Sultan's Dishes
@Papazon
Bale Raos, known for serving the Sultan's dishes, is a culinary gem in Yogyakarta. I was delighted by the exceptional value it offers. Remarkably, a family of four can dine sumptuously for under $35. The menu, rich in traditional flavors, offers an authentic taste of royal Javanese cuisine in a setting that feels both historic and welcoming.
It's important for visitors to note that despite its name, the 'beer' on the menu is not an alcoholic beverage. This might surprise those expecting a traditional beer. Instead, it's a unique, local non-alcoholic drink, offering a different kind of refreshment. Bale Raos is a must-visit for those looking to enjoy a royal feast at a surprisingly affordable price.

Day2
Kotta GO Hotel Yogyakarta
@Papazon
Kotta GO Hotel in Yogyakarta is a charming accommodation choice, especially for those who appreciate a blend of comfort and style. A highlight of my stay was the hotel's trendy café, which not only serves as a delightful spot to relax but also offers a delectable breakfast buffet and a variety of beverages. It's a perfect place to start your day or unwind after exploring the city.
However, one downside is its distance from the main station. During peak traffic hours, getting to and from the city center can be time-consuming. This could be a consideration for travelers with a tight schedule or those preferring to be closer to the central transport hubs. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a stylish stay with great food options, Kotta GO Hotel is definitely worth considering.
