The Republic of Indonesia has a whopping 17,508 islands, its name comes from Greek meaning islands of India and internationally stands as the fourth most populous country in the world.
Its capital is Jakarta, and is geographically divided into seven provinces. The two best known are Sumatra and Java, the latter is the birthplace of the famous Java man that lived more than 500,000 years ago. Then come Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku Islands, West Papua and the Lesser Sunda Islands, home to the spectacular beaches of Bali.
Indonesia is a melting pot that brings together more than 300 different ethnic groups: Indians, Arabs, Chinese, Malays and Europeans. This is reflected in the stunning international cuisine which offers visitors really striking and original dishes.
