Background

Ibiza is the third largest of the Balearic Islands. Ibiza was first settled by the Phoenician (Carthaginians) in 654 BC and then by the Greeks who called the island Pitiusas. After the Punic Wars the island was taken over by the Romans. In 1235, like the rest of the Balearic islands Ibiza was conquered by James I of Aragon.

The main town Ibiza or Eivissa is the largest city and port of the island. The old town, a World Heritage Site, within the citadel is very attractive but the modern town on the waterfront is less so. There are two marinas in the port.

Check-in facilities
