Secret island in Java that people don't notice it: Karimunjawa

Maybe all the people who want to visit Indonesia, only to going to Bali or Lombok, because two of this islands are very famous. As you know that Indonesia have a million small islands around them and most of them are still virgin ( it means less of people who know it ). This time i want to introduce you one of the small islands and also secret in Java, we called it Karimunjawa. Karimunjawa located around 83 km from Jepara, Center of Java. How to get there ? because this island is still virgin and not much people know it, so based of my experience because i love backpacking: i took train from Jakarta until Semarang, after that i took bus to went to Jepara and we can choose two ways to go by traditional boat or ferry but i chosen traditional boat because it was cheap even though it was a bit dangerous, its not expensive to paid to fish man who company me, only Rp 5000 ( 50 cents euro ) but with ferry we have to pay Rp 50.000 ( 4 euro ). Plus, there are no hotels in there just traditional cottage but its clean. In Karimunjawa, you can do any water sport : diving, swimming with the small shark or snorkeling, the beach is so clear and awesome.So i will show you some pictures of Karimunjawa.
