The Hidden Paradise

 Hello, welcome to my blog, now I want to share a story about my short vacation in Pacitan.

Pacitan is a district in East Java. When you want to go to Pacitan, you have to take a plane to Yogyakarta, then from Yogyakarta to Pacitan, use a car with a travel time of about 4 hours. At that time I used Andika travel at a cost of around IDR 500,000 but had to leave YIA airport beforehand to be able to take the trip. If you use a motorbike, it can be reached in about 2 hours.

During the trip, I saw beautiful scenery decorated with mountains and rice fields. I don't get this view in Batam because Batam is known as an industrial city. This 4-hour trip is not felt because the eyes are really spoiled by natural nature

Pacitan has very cool air. There are so many rice fields around it that it makes the eyes that see fresh. When I arrived at Pacitan, I saw so many grain handicraft makers. Grain handicrafts use basic ingredients made of clay and then various crafts are made, one of which is chili paste.

Pacitan is also famous as the hometown of the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Mr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY). Mr. SBY built the Ani Yudhoyono museum in Pacitan, but at that time this museum had not been inaugurated for the public. Then he built the Pacitan Kota 1001 Goa bridge. Pacitan is nicknamed the city of 1001 Goa and "The Hideen Paradise" because of its natural beauty.

Because this is my short vacation, I don't go to many places and don't capture many beautiful places, but I would recommend a tourism spot that I have visited, namely Klayar Beach. Klayar Beach is located in Pacitan on the southern side of East Java and borders Wonogiri, Central Java, to be precise, which is in Sendang Village, Donorojo District, Pacitan Regency, about 40 KM to the west of Pacitan City. The price of admission for children is Rp. 10,000 and for adults is Rp. 15,000. This beach is so clean that the water is clear with a wide stretch of white sand. Here is a photo of Klayar Beach which I quoted from indonesiakaya.com

 

Apart from the beach, I would also recommend some of the food that I tried, namely:

1. Soto
This Soto is a must try when you go to Pacitan. One bowl of soto costs around IDR 18,000-IDR 25,000. The location of this place is in Kebonagung. The place to eat is comfortable and clean so it's just right to eat at that location.

 

 2. Pak Tugi's chicken noodles and meatballs
You also have to try these chicken noodles and meatballs when you are in Pacitan. The specialty of Mie Ayam and Bakso is its thick but delicious broth. The price for the food menu here is around IDR 15,000-IDR 25,000. The location of this place is in the Arjowinangun market area.

Then if you want to bring typical Pacitan souvenirs, I recommend buying souvenirs at Sari Rasa. The sari rasa shop is located in the arjowinangun market area. The Sari Rasa shop has various kinds of souvenirs, from dodol, lenting, banana chips, banana sale and others. The product price starts from Rp. 7,000 only.

Vacation in Pacitan is a great idea. Even though Pacitan is not well known by the wider community, Pacitan has very beautiful natural beauty. Besides having beautiful nature, the people of Pacitan are also friendly. The environment and roads around Pacitan are very clean and you rarely see trash scattered around.

You have to try to vacation here! guaranteed no regrets!!!
