Properties in Muja Muju

Yogyakarta (locally known as Jogja) is Indonesia's only active sultanate and the center of Javanese art, education, and traditions. The city is situated near Borobudur and Prambanan, at the foot of Mount Merapi, in the richest cultural region of Indonesia.

Where is Yogyakarta?

Yogyakarta is a special region in the southern part of Java island. The city is accessible by international flights and by train from Jakarta.

What to See?

1. Kraton – The Sultan's Palace

The Kraton is the still-inhabited palace of the Yogyakarta sultan, serving as the center of Javanese court culture. Gamelan performances, traditional dance, and batik workshops are found around the palace.

2. Malioboro Street

Yogyakarta's main shopping street where batik, handicrafts, and street food await. The evening atmosphere is particularly lively and authentic.

Descending into the cave by rope, the reward is unparalleled: the beam of light filtering through the ceiling (heavenly light) is one of Indonesia's most photographed sights.

4. Mount Merapi

One of Indonesia's most active volcanoes, observable up close from Yogyakarta. Jeep tours follow the traces of the 2010 eruption, and the volcano museum is also informative.
