Have you ever wondered what a real holiday feels like? Indonesia is the perfect place for you and your family to spend your long and fabulous summer. The two most popular and favourite destinations in Indonesia is Bali and Java which includes lush jungles, clear-watered beaches and myriad of food choices.

Java is the biggest Island in Indonesia. It has gigantic yet beautiful monuments and temples and also more than 100 active volcanoes. In Java, you can visit the biggest Buddhist temple in the world called Candi Borobudur or the Borobudur Buddhist Complex. It was built in the 9th century. You can also visit a spectacular Hindu temple called Prambanan temple that is a must-see in Indonesia which will make your eyes blessed. Apart from temples, you can also visit the active Kawah Ijen and after a hike of several hours, it leads to Mount Bromo which is a volcano surrounded by a sand sea. If you want to visit an active yet amazing volcano, visit Mount Semeru. The best time to visit Java is in April, May, September and October where there are fewer crowds.

Bali is a small island in Indonesia that has wonderful, picturesque beaches, cultural heritage and wide, green rice fields. Bali is linked to its tradition and spirituality including traditional dances, crafts and religious festivals. The green rice fields in Ubud will complete your afternoon while you enjoy your delicious and mouth-watering meal by the serpentine rivers. If you love visiting beaches, you should go to Kuta beach, Legian beach and Sanur beach. Enjoy the sunset in Sanur beach while seeing eye-catching, colourful fish whisking here and there. If you love quiet places, go to the North of Bali by a bemo, a group taxi, and spend your day with your beloved ones peacefully.

What are you waiting for? Pack your bags, bring your swimsuit and bring sunscreen since it is so hot! Don’t forget to prepare your camera and phones! Book your flight and hotel before it’s too late and spend your holiday in the islands of Indonesia.
