It
seems that almost all the time, Kuta pops up to the top of the itinerary list
when one starts their plan to visit Bali. "If you have not been to Kuta,
you have not been to Bali," as the saying goes.
It
is often confusing when one mentions the word Kuta. Just try doing a Google
search, and it will return at least a hundred different hotels
and restaurants. Officially speaking, Google is right. After all, Kuta actually
represents the name of a district in Bali, covering a total area of 17.52 km2.
But the heart of Kuta - where all excitements are happening, kids are building
their sand castle, novices are picking up surfing - stretches only about 1 km
long.
