Ibiza brings up images of a luxury resort island with exclusive club parties for the elite. But more than lovely beaches, exciting aqua activities and clubs, Ibiza can be a destination for everyone as there are many unique things to do on the island.
And getting there isn’t as difficult as one might think. Check out Directline holidays to Ibiza for easy booking at the best prices.
And as you plan, see our top 5 recommendations, especially for those traveling with kids.
1) For insight into the medieval life, explore Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s old town, on foot. Walk up the narrow, winding cobbled streets and be rewarded with magnificent panoramic views from the high ramparts. On the way, you and your family will feel like you are taken back in time as you see traditional Ibicencos clad in black as they go about their lives in the gothic Catalan buildings. Don’t miss the souvenir shops and art galleries on the way to the cathedral which offer unique crafts by local craftsmen. You just may find a valuable treasure to take home. Cap your day with a candlelit dinner in the Medieval castle under the Mediterranean stars. Don’t scrimp on this as it may be a once in a lifetime experience you will cherish forever!
2) Explore Can Marca Caves. The kids will be amazed by the stalagmite and stalactite figures formed over thousands of years. Then enjoy a Music & Light Show with a 30 foot cascade of diamond-bright water.
3) Rent a car or scooter and drive around the peaceful, rustic villages of the island. Stop for tapas in a local restaurant and find a deserted cove and enjoy the serenity. If you don’t feel like cruising around on your own, take the Tourist Train, with commentary at major stops, for a convenient way to discover Ibiza.
4) Take a photo of one of the most beautiful sunset scenes at the Las Salinas Salt Flats. Existing for more than 2000 years, the salt fields are one of the island’s most famous landmarks.
5) Feel unconventional for awhile and mingle with hippies at a Hippy Market. Shop for exotic batik clothing and East Asian jewelry and trinkets. This will make for interesting stories the kids can share with their friends back home.
