Discovering the island. (2001) by Steve-H
Like most people i thought Ibiza would be all footie shirts and lager louts, how wrong i was, it's a beautiful island with wonderful scenery and great beaches. However if you do want lager and footie on all the tv's then you should try Sant Antoni after dark.The sea is clean and blue and home to an amazing variety of seafood all of which you'll find on the menus of beach front restaurants, fresh and incredibly cheap.If its beaches you want then Ibiza has more than enough and they are all excellent, from Portinatx in the north to Las Salinas in the south all with fine sand and warm clear seas. Temperatures peak at an average of 27 degrees in August with 11 hours of sunshine per day, in the late summer the sea temperature rises even further.Making good use of the car we made it to some great places like the Hippie Market at Punta Arabi the beach at Benniras and my favourite Cala d'Hort where we always go to eat. The drive there reveals the beautiful interior of the island stretched over hills and covered in olive groves and fruit trees. The beautiful blue water and the view are worth the drive. Here`s Steff swimming at Cala D`Hort.
