Mandala Airlines fly from Bali to yogyakarta daily. It is 1 hour by plane. The views in the morning are fantastic. Mountains and volcanos. The flight leaves bali at 6.50am. If you go to their website and keep checking you can get some great deals. Prices from about 600,000 to 1 million per person return. They are always advertising deals. Just remember that for a period in July it is school holidays and Malioboro can be hectic. I went in July and accommodation was booked out so find out school dates and perhaps work around them.
Definately go to Borobudur. Manohara hotel is the only accommodation on the grounds. It is so convenient if a little overpriced. But you walk 200 metres and there is the Temple. You can do sunset and sunrise walks. You can find it on the web.
Prambanan is amazing as well. I was lucky enough to see a dance at night. I have had a driver for the 2 times i went. I also used the local transport. If you look at some of my previous posts there is a little more information.
You can email me if you have more questions.......Good luck...
