Description:

On the outskirts of Yogyakarta, explore charming farmland and beaches as you appreciate aspects of traditional daily life by meeting local people. Pedal through rice paddies, see the bright colors of the batik style of art, and enjoy the orange hues and long shadows of a marvelous sunset.

Begin the day by heading out of the city to Kampung Girloyo, which is particularly well known for its batik workshops, a style of art that uses colorful wax that is dried onto cloth to create decorative and intricate patterns. Admire the variety of ornamentation produced, and witness firsthand how the process takes place.

Following a traditional lunch, you are ready for a leisurely cycle from the village of Kebon Agun into the neighboring rice paddies. See how the rice is cultivated and harvested, and meet local workers to chat about life in the rural community. The nearby hamlet of Candran has an intriguing exhibition of age-old farming tools, which offers a valuable insight into the area's agriculture.

Late in the afternoon, head to the southern coast and Parangtritis Beach, and take a seat on an elevated rocky outcrop to watch as the sky changes color with the setting sun, which casts magnificent shadows on the dunes creating an enchanting atmosphere to complete the day.
