    Solo-Cirebon not so far around 5 hours by car Don't know how much is reasonable priced for you As I know mostly people in Cirebon know where you can go to traditional trusmi batik market You can ask at the hotel Should try traditional cirebon food - Empal Gentong Mang Dharma (curry soup) Not far from Cirebon, you can see beautiful ciremai mountain & rice field or sulfur spa The area is in Linggar Jati, Cilimus Have a nice trip, Rini

    This post caused me to revisit one of my pages. When I originally constructed my page, there was no Cirebon in the data base... but I've moved my page accordingly now. Try the Santika Hotel, for65/night. Honestly its the best thing within 100km. Best way to Jogja from Cirebon is a train. If I remember correctly, it was ~5hrs.
