Java was on my bucket list for a while so we decided to combine a trip to East Java with vacation in Bali. In this post I will tell you about our East Java trip from Jakarta to Ijen, including a 5-day itinerary. Day by day, I will take you from Jakarta to Yogyakarta, Bromo, Ijen and finally Banjuwangi, where we took a ferry to Bali.
Stay in the heart of Yogyakarta at the 5-star Yogyakarta Marriott Hotel, located adjacent to Pakuwon Mall Jogja and offers convenient access to popular tourist destinations such as Prambanan Temple, Borobudur Temple, Jalan Malioboro, Kraton Yogyakarta, and Gadjah Mada University. Relax in our iconic infinity pool or workout in the 24-hour Flight distance: 168 miles or 270 km. Flight time: 50 minutes. The straight line flight distance is 45 miles less than driving on roads, which means the driving distance is roughly 1.3x of the flight distance. Your plane flies much faster than a car, so the flight time is about 1/9th of the time it would take to drive.What companies run services between Semarang, Indonesia and Yogyakarta, Indonesia?
