Pacitan is one of the simply beautiful region in East Java since its relatively poor areas, the infrastructure is not so good. Entrance to Pacitan there are only two, the east side; Ponorogo, the west side of Wonogiri/Yogyakarta. Pacitan had stony mountain because of that when rainy season, always happened many landslides in some location.
Tourism city object is Telengria beach. By motorcycle ride from Sedeng/Pringkuku/Punung, view to the sea was truly beautiful but be careful because of the way down to a steep was decline. In Telengria beach there was a hotel named Happy Bay, about 2 years ago there is no ac, the rate about 60.000 rups, its quite beautiful at the beach if you want to have activities in the morning and afternoon. The other alternative was Srikandi Hotel (the only home stay/lodge which recommend in Lonely Planet book), food was good (rate about 100.000 rups, with AC). If you want to have dinner, you could walking around the crossroad of city center's store . Near the market there was a good place to eat by sitting on the floor, Mrs.Sum (near BNI) . To all spicy food lovers, you are lucky, at market close to Enggal jaya shop there was called gobyos vegetable, like opor (chicken curry) but most of chilis than chicken inside. If lunchtime, at the right corner (the position facing the sea) there are lot of antique stalls, the main menu of fresh fish with tiwul rice. Cuisine is particularly rays grilled with spicy vegetables, it called KALAKAN vegetables. Eating fish with tiwul rice in the day it was truly extraordinary. If you not get used to eat, don't take tiwul rice in full portion. If you like tempe, a rare tempe was unique in Pacitan, wrapped with banana stems.
Other hotel which can be recommended in Pacitan was Permata, Bali Queen and Pacitan Hotel. All located around the city center and if you continue like fishing, go to the sea. The fish were very large size. If you want to continue your trip, you could go straight to Yogyakarta's direction to Pringkuku, there was a more beautiful beach than Telengria. All beaches in Pacitan have white sand. In Pringkuku, there was a dramatic moment, there was a coral reef in the middle when tide's time, full of water and the waves urging to the top made a fountain like whale's back. Its excellent so was a good sunset. Along your trip to Punung, now there is gong cave (inside a cave you could listen traditional music that is called Gong) Its Wonderful!!! In punung, you could also found a sudden market after branch to the gong cave and that market was selling many agate stone in twenty pack which is cheap and good. If you continue your trip to Ponorogo, then come to Arjosari where there was bathing warm water place, which is intend to real heat. If you go to Trenggalek in Jatigunung village, subdistrict Tulakan, please stop by to organic food stalls that managed by young people. Standard menu like tiwul and fish with cassava leaves. Then you could walk to Lorok beach or Sidomulyo. Most of similar but its different was the beach view. If you want to go home please stop by to southern market of Arjowinangun (Kebonagung), the center of porridge. It taste good and different from kudus porridge (jenang).
If you go by bus, it can be accessed from Solo (namely ;Aneka Jaya, Timbul Jaya, Ismo) directly to Pacitan of from Ponorogo (Aneka Jaya), or from Yogyakarta (Pacitan Putra Jaya, but its rarely or travel Purwowidodo, etc.) It's nice, just sit and reached the destination.
