Iftar get-togethers are one of the things to look forward to every Ramadan, and Ketjeh Resto in Klaten, Central Java is one of the most unique places to do so. An outdoor waterpark restaurant, Ketjeh has boats you can have iftar on and allows you to dine outdoors while barefooted with water at your feet.
No worries if you arrive early and don’t feel like waiting for hours until it’s time to break your fast – next to the restaurant is De Wangen Equestrian Park, where you can try your hand at horseback riding and archery while waiting for the sun to set.
