Headed away this year for sure, but still not sure as to where exactly? It can sometime be near impossible to settle on one destination, especially when you are booking the holiday for the whole family. But here’s one place you may not have considered – Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This is why this place is the best place you’ve never heard of.

Scenery:

One thing is guaranteed, if you and your family like scenic views, and awesome architecture (both modern and ancient), then Yogyakarta has exactly what you have been looking for. This city is in very close proximity to the Borobudur and Prambanan temples, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Both of these temples are amazing in their own right, and are a true “bucket list” check mark for anyone that enjoys these kinds of attractions.

Climate:

The climate in Indonesia is warm the year round. April is the hottest month to visit Yogyakarta. However, with the climate being tropical / monsoon in nature, the seasons are wet and dry. Any time April to November is great to visit, if it is sunshine that you seek. The remaining months are usually wet, but it never gets cold here. Which is very convenient if you cannot obtain annual leave from your employment during the summer months, as you can still have a holiday in Indonesia later on in the year, and still enjoy perfect weather.
