The fort that was built to protect the royal palace in the past Buton is also known as the Thousand Fort.
The fort stands strong at the top of the hill. That said, the fortress built in the 16th century is the largest in the world. The extent reached around 22.8 hectares of land with a wall along the 2,740 meters.
Built with mountain rocks bonded with sand and limestone, the fortress’ height varies between 1-8 meters with thickness between 0.5-2 meters.

The fort has 12 doors and 16 defense posts. At every door and corner mounted a cannon fort. There are total 100 cannons.
In the area surrounded by fortress walls, there are many small fort. Therefore, Buton Fort Palace was also known as the Thousand Forts. Small forts became the main fort supporter. And each castle is connected with a secret path.
Among the those small forts, the most famous is the Sorawolio fort. It is said, that the fort served as the last defense and royal family hiding-place if the enemy occupied the main castle.

The other is the Baadia that serves as surveillance fortress. It’s positioned higher than the surrounding valley.

Geger Beach

Geger beach is one of the tourism objects in Bali which is located in the village Peminge, Nusa Dua.

Unlike other beaches located in Bali, which are so noisy, with pounding music and food vendors. Geger beach has its own charisma. This beach presents a calm, white sand stretching along the beach. No less beautiful than the other beaches in Bali, and also very clean. That’s the view I got after landing my foot on this beach.

Although somewhat hidden place, Geger Beach is a favorite place for the new spouse. Because the beach is so stunning, bringing romantic atmosphere for those who need a quiet, peaceful, away from the distractions of work activities, and others.

Some foreigner tourists prefer the Geger beach than Kuta beach or Tanah lot because it’s more romantic and quiet. Kuta beach and Tanah Lot is so crowded and some tourists can’t get beautiful moment because of that. Besides, Geger beach is cleaner, way cleaner.

Indeed, almost no trash on this beach, there are only a few remnants of sea grass fell from seaweed farmers there. Apparently this place is also a cultivation of seaweed. We can see seaweed farmers drying their crops. Perhaps you can also buy dried seaweed directly here for friends and relatives. Here, the issue price is still below the market average, but it also depends on our ability to bargain with the farmers there.

Tourism activities that can be done at this beach is swimming, sunbathing and fishing. If the tide is low we could walk through the beach to see the beauty of rocks which extend beneath the clear water. Very impressive.

So remember, Kuta beach is not the only beautiful beach in Bali, next time you visit Bali, don’t forget to visit Geger beach. You won’t regret it. I know I don’t.
