After having breakfast, you will be transfer to Kraton
For the people of Yogyakarta, the Kraton, or Sultan’s Palace, has been the cultural (and mystical) heart and soul of the city since the mid-1700s. The Kraton is a physical representation of the Javanese Cosmos, charged with the divine forces of the universe. Every detail, tree and pavilion has mystical meaning, and if you take a moment you can just, perhaps, feel a little spark in the air. Built on a north-south axis, the Kraton faces sacred Mount Merapi, and backs the ocean, home of the Sultan’s mystical consort Kanjeng Ratu Loro Kidul (the Queen of the Southern Seas).
Continue to transfer by local cyclo, becak to Taman Sari Water Palace and Garden.
Located near the Kraton, this place was also known as the garden for the Sultan of Yogyakarta. Some of its original functions were a place to rest, to meditate, to work, to hide and to defend the Sultan’s family. In this present day, some of its buildings have now become homes for local residents and only the mosque, resting and bathing space, and underground tunnels are accessible by tourists.
Lunch will be served in a local restaurant in Yogyakarta.
Return to your hotel and spend the rest of the day on your own.
