Imagine a holiday destination on a desert island of lush tropical greenery, white sandy beaches gently lapped by blue sea, sunshine and a hammock hanging between two palm trees.  If you like this picture, then read on to discover the best travel websites full of tempting information and fabulous photographs that will help you arrange your vacation in Indonesia.

The Republic of Indonesia is in South East Asia and is made up of over 17000 islands with only around 6000 occupied.  There are different languages, religions and cultures to discover. One of the most famous islands is Bali which many people will remember from the musical ‘South Pacific’.

Jakarta is the capital and can be found on the North West coast of Java and is an excellent example of the differing destinations in Indonesia.  It is a city of bustling streets and has a population of over 9 million which is a far cry from the initial dream of the ‘ideal desert island’.

http://www.indonesia.travel/en/ - Begin your search by dipping into the official tourist travel website for Indonesia.  This Indonesian travel website has video clips and a list of destinations for you to visit.  Have a look at the Komodo National Park to learn about the famous Komodo Dragons which are to be found on the islands.
