The Top 5 Sites in Ibiza
Ibiza is the ultimate fun destination for anyone looking for an exotic island that is full of sunshine anytime during the year. Below are top 5 attractions you must not miss when in Ibiza.
a) Ibiza Town By Night
As evening sets in, the Ibiza nightlife experience is something you do not want to miss. To catch all the action, make your way to old quarter. Here, Ibiza is transformed to a startling nocturnal fauna. At night, the rule is “see and be seen”. The beautiful people of Ibiza fill the clubs and other night spots to have fun as they interact with visitors. High end boutique shops, restaurants and fetish shops remain open. A midnight stroll worthwhile will be worthwhile along the ever busy Calle de la Virgin. Sit down and enjoy the view in one of the many restaurants and bars that operate at the harbor.
b) The Hippy Markets of Ibiza
You must visit the famous Hippy markets of Ibiza during your stay on the island. There, you will have a variety of items to choose from. Whether you are looking for East African jewelry or the most exotic batik clothing, you will find them there. In fact, you may spot one or two of the original hippies, but most are grey-haired. Ibiza’s strong artistic roots date back to the 1960s when designers, painters and artisans flocked the island to enjoy freedom of expression. To get the best souvenirs during your trip, visit the market in Es Caná on Wednesday or in San Carlos on Saturday. These are the biggest markets and you can get items from places as far as South America, India and Indonesia.
c) The Atlantis
Lying majestically opposite the Es Vedra Rock is the Atlantis, a secret cove that pays homage to the god Shiva. The cove, just like the rock, has many myths surrounding it. One of the common ones you are bound to hear is that the cove’s whereabouts should never be disclosed to anyone. The cove is a perfect place for those looking for some spiritual relish and those who love artistic presentations of ancient Ibiza artists. Take your camera along; you have a lot of wonderful artwork to see at the cove.
