This method possible you to organize time as you need. If driven by yourself please prepare a map, read more about last traffic situation. Avoid stopping at un-inhabited area or unusual for it. Suggested taking a rest at restaurant, fuel station, police post that easily found at a long the way of Jakarta - Purworejo. Fully pay attention on driving may be you will find yourroad crossed by rail way with insufficient protection.
But , it will be an advantage if you have a trusted-driver .

By Plane
Fastest trip method certainly . It is enable you have breakfast in Cilandak , Meruya, Sunter , Kampung Melayu etc then have lunch in Purworejo. Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Adam Air are example of flight operators that reserve shuttle flight Jakarta – Yogyakarta. Travel agent will be pleasure to lend their hands when you need more detail of flight information. Forty five minutes fly , stewardess will alert you to tighten seat belt for landing at Adi Sucipto Airport of Yogyakarta . Just need on foot to arrival terminal while porter un-load your baggage from the craft. If no relation take you , immediately have a taxi for ninety minutes trip to west.

Finally Bagelen sub-district lets your entry without password to District of Purworejo.
By Sea.
Strange in ear have a trip by sea to this area . Nearest harbour is Tanjung Mas of Semarang which takes at least four hours by land to Purworejo. In fact the district has harbour in Ketawang beach called Pasir Puncu Harbour, but so far no commercial shipment sail there Have you ever watched parody film of Robin Hood entitled “ Men in tight “ ……?
He was back to UK from Middle East by swimming across the sea. I extremely not recommend you swimming across the sea from Tanjung Priok Harbour in Jakrata to Pasir Puncu Harbour. Otherwise you are well-trained for it .
