Living in Greater Banyumas
Greater Banyumas is a relaxed southern Central Java region around Purwokerto, Cilacap, and Purworejo. Teachers can explore the Baturaden highlands, nearby caves, and south-coast beaches, with a strong local food and market culture. It has a low-cost, community-focused rhythm that suits teachers looking for an immersive, off-the-beaten-track Indonesian experience.
Weather
Warm tropical weather year-round. Expect a wetter season and a drier season, with local variation.
Expat community
New teachers can connect through local international communities, language exchanges, and city-based social groups.
