Ibiza, one of the dazzling Balearic Islands, is famed not only for its vibrant nightlife but also for its rich history and stunning landscapes. biza’s Old Town, Dalt Vila, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and home to some of the oldest Phoenician settlements in the Mediterranean.
Our day began with a dingy ride over to the beach and a 2.5-mile hike along the coast, soaking in the early morning beauty before hopping on a bus to Ibiza’s enchanting Old Town. Wandering through its winding streets, we marveled at the blend of modern life and historical charm, stopping at street cafes and unique shops.
One of our highlights was visiting the Puib Des Molins’ Monographic Museum & Necropolis. This fascinating museum houses over 3,000 tombs from the Phoenician-Punic period, offering a deep dive into ancient burial practices.
A fresh fruit platter and artisanal breads atop the Old Wall provided the perfect lunch spot. With a cool breeze and panoramic views, it was a delightful respite on a scorching day. We then visited La Catedral de Ibiza, a majestic structure dating back to the 14th century, adding a touch of medieval grandeur to our adventure.
The day wouldn’t be complete without indulging in some of the best local-made gelato we’ve ever tasted, along with savoring some delicious street food as we strolled along the bustling Vara de Rey promenade.
We had a bit of a struggle with the dinghy leaving Ibiza, taking on some water, but we had fun bailing as we motored back to the boat, adding a splash of adventure to our day. The evening was spent stargazing from the boat in Ibiza – the clear night sky absolutely mesmerizing as it dazzled us with a blanket of twinkling stars.
