Our itnerary for the three days
Day 1 : We arrived at Yogyakarta Airport at 11.30AM. Our villa was only 30 minutes from the airport. We were able to check in very quickly. By then we were hungry so we decided to have lunch at Villa Hanis. After that, we called for a metered-taxi to take us to Jalan Malioboro. We also found a nice massage palour called "Kakiku" along the streets.
Day 2 : Our plan for the day was to visit Borobudur Temple and Mount Merapi. Our tour driver also took us to a massage palour and an interesting restaurant at the end of the day. We paid about IDR120,000 for an one-hour body massage (approximately SGD17!).
Day 3 : We brought tripods for this trip and we were determined to take some photos of sunset. The tour driver recommended that we should visit Sultan Palace and Water Castle "Taman Sari" in the morning. We visited Prambanan after lunch and stayed there until sunset. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day and we could not get any shots of the sunset.
Day 4: Rise and shine! We woke up at 4AM and began to get ready to go to the aiport. Our return flight to Singapore was 7.30AM. Air Asia is the only airline that flies direct from Singapore to Yogyakarta and they only have one return flight (YOG/SIN) per day.
