Good order

Start with the decisions that affect everything else.

Start with batik, food, temples, art and airport logistics. That is the real Jogja planning spine.
Gudeg is sweet. Know that before you order it and act surprised.
Learn real batik versus printed fabric before shopping. Nice print is fine; handmade prices for print are not.
Check event dates, temple tickets and access rules close to travel.
