Ibiza: How to get there and what to see

Map

How to get there
You can travel to Ibiza either by plane or by ship. There are regular flights from the following Spanish airports: Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Mallorca. From the airport of Ibiza you arrive to virtually any point of the island by public transport, or you can rent a car.

Arriving by ship is much slower, but certainly more romantical. Ships to Ibiza leave from all major Spanish ports.

What to see
Close to the beautiful City of Ibiza, there are several great beaches. In front of Playa d'en Bossa, located at the South, you will see a small group of islands, Islas Malvinas. Among the best beaches in northern direction there are Cala Talamaca and Cala Llonga Photo.

Santa Eulalia Photo should be the next station on your excursion. This picturesque village is one of the main attractions for tourists, not just for its modern installations, but for its extraordinary beaches: Playas de Santa Eulalia, Cala Blanca and Es Canar.

San Juan, again having some great beaches as Cala de Sant Vicent, Cala Portinaitx Photo and Cala Xarraca Photo, is specially interesting for a quite unique historical remain: the cave Cueva des Cuieram, with a Carthaginean temple in its interior.

And Sant Miquel, located at just a few kilometers, again offers wonderful beaches and beautiful landscape.

After passing some typical Mediterranean villages you arrive to San Antonio Abad Photo, also called Sant Antoni de Portnani, a very important touristical center with outstanding (but quite crowded) beaches, among them Cala Gració, Cala Blanch, or that beautiful beach located face to face to the small island Isla Margalida Photo (Ses Margalides), and with rollicking night life.

Inhabitants of San José are proud to have the maybe most beautiful church on the island. Tourists on the other hand are mainly attracted by the beaches, of course: Cala D'Or, Cala Bassa, Cala Tárida and Es Vedra Photo.

In the island's South you may discover some beaches that are less known still and consequently less crowded. In this part of the island there is also the cave of Ses Fontelles with its prehistorical wall-paintings.
