Ibiza Sightseeing
Hippy Market - Punta Arabi
Es Cana
A visit to the famous Hippy Market on the grounds of
the holiday club Punta Arabí in Es Cana, near
Santa Eulalia, held every Wednesday (from may to october)
from 10.00 - 19.00 hrs., is a must. At the market you
have an enormous variety to choose from: the most exotic
batik wraps and clothing to tailor-made leather mocassins
and an tantalising variety of east-asian silver jewellry
and trinkets. If you look around you can still find
some of the original hippies, although most of them
have grey hair by now! Like a time-warp back to the
1970s. Every Wednesday.
Hippy Market - Las Dalias
San Carlos
In San Carlos in the North-East, set in the grounds
of a restaurant, this weekly market continues in Saturdays
throughout the year. Many consider it to be a more original
and traditional alternative to the larger Wednesday
market at Es Caná. Wonderful selection of handmade
clothes and jewellery, you can be sure to find that
little something for everyone. Open until late in summer,
'til 18.00 in winter, every Saturday.
Las Salinas - Salt Flats
Near the airport
One of Ibiza's most famous landmarks. On the southern
most tip of the island, the salt fields have been in
use for over 2000 years. As the water evaporates during
the hot summer months, a sparkling layer of pure salt
is left on the bottom of the lakes. One of the most
beautiful spots for sunset photos.
Ibiza Watersports
Water temperatures range from 18º C in May to 26º
in August making the island ideal for all sorts of watersports,
including waterskiing, jetskiing, sailing, windsurfing,
parasailing, bananaboat or even a relaxing pedalo.
Most of the larger beaches have kiosks where you can
rent pedaloes and have a go on a banana boat. There
are several sailing schools around the island (Playa
d'en Bossa, Las Salinas, San Antonio, Cala Martina,
Cala Pada) offering Catamaran hire and occasional windsurf
hire (you will probably need a licence). There are also
several beaches offering waterskiing and jetskiing (San
Antonio Bay, Cala Bassa, Playa d'en Bossa, Santa Eulalia)
and parasailing. More information can be found in our
beaches section.
Aquarium Cap Blanch
Smuggler's Cave - San Antonio
Opposite the Hotel Tanit down a small pathway to this
ancient Smuggler's grotto transformed into an aquarium.
Aguamar
Water Slide Park
This amazing water park in Playa d'en Bossa is a fun
day for all the family. Many pools to splash around
in and some very long, fast and curvy slides. A real
alternative to a day at the beach. Behind the disco
Space.
Getting Around Ibiza - Car hire, island bus
services and taxis
Buses
The island can boast an extensive and regular
Bus service. There are half-hour connections between
all major resorts, including many of the most popular
beaches. Buses run in the Summer months from approximately
7 am until 10 pm. The disco bus then takes over from
midnight until 6 am, taking clubbers to and from all
the major clubs and resorts.
The buses are air-conditioned and an extremely economical
form of transport. Highly recommended. Ask in your accommodation
for more details.
Taxis
If there are 3 or 4 of you travelling, taxis are a comfortable
and relatively economical way to travel. You can flag
a taxi down at any time of night and day if the green
light is showing. Taxis are charged on a meter system
(similar to the rest of Europe).
