Figuring out how to get from A to B and anywhere in between can be a bit of a mine field. Each place has it’s own rules, modes of transport and pricing structures. Here’s how we did it and a few things we learned along the way, hopefully making getting around in Asia a bit easier for you.
Gilli Islands
Where to eat and drink on Gili Air
Where we were staying was handy to the strip of bars and restaurants on the right side of the island. I would recommend a similar location, giving you all the choices for lunch, dinner and drinks. But one of the things we loved most about the island, was the simple and delicious food options you could get right on the beach, or from a cart on the side of the road. A hawker on the beach offering mango and pineapple was an incredible experience, while the corn on the cob rivalled that offered only on Gili T.
How to keep yourself entertained on Gili Air
Given Gili Air is set up as the less hectic of the Gilis you’ll spend most of your time relaxing, and not doing much else. As much as we like sitting on the beach, reclining in a lounger, it’s nice to see a bit of where you’re staying, so we did some walking and cycling too. The bars along the right side of the island all seem to have loungers, but some you’ll have to pay for, others will let you use if you’re purchasing food and drink. You’ll find loungers on the Gili’s are at least half the price of Bali.
