Celak: the small craft village has a number of shops selling silver and gold jewellery. The work is not of the best quality, but prices are relatively cheap and the village is very interesting to walk around. Kintamani: this was the main city in the 10th century Balinese kingdom. It is a stunning mountainous region with fantastic scenery and is home to Bali’s largest lake that sits in a volcanic crater. The weather here is much cooler and it is wonderful to watch the sun set from the mountains. Quiet beaches and healing hot springs add to the charm of Kintamani. Amed: is a sleepy fishing village which is reminiscent of what life in Bali was like just 50 years ago. The beaches have black lava sand that is extremely soft and warm and contrasts against the colour of the sea. Visitors to Amed will find that the beach perfect for relaxing, getting away from it all and incredibly tranquil. Mas: is a picturesque woodcarving village that was once the centre of the woodcarving industry. However, with the ease of transportation and modernisation the woodcarving industry has become more widespread. There are many fine pieces that can be purchased here and it is quite fascinating to watch the carvers at work. Seminyak: located in north of Legian, Seminyak is a reminder of what Kuta was during the hippie invasion of the 1960s. It is still fairly quiet and undeveloped with a wonderful scenery of paddy fields and mountains. The sea is good for surfing but not recommended for swimming because of the strong undercurrents. Ubud: tucked away in the hills, Ubud has become the centre of art and culture with numerous art galleries and museums. Despite being a popular tourist destination, it has managed to retain its charm and old customs. There are several fine restaurants, trendy cafes and souvenir shops in the town. There is plenty to do here including a visit to the picturesque terraced rice fields, the famed Monkey Forest and the mysterious complex of graves that surround a temple. |
