Many tourists meet Ibiza and say goodbye to it in the port because most of the tourists come here by ferry or boat.
Those who flew here by plane can come to the city port any time, breathe in the fresh sea air and rent a beautiful yacht. If you don't want to rent a yacht, just walk past the masts reflected in the water. Most of the sightseeing boats also depart from here.
The port has stood on this site for more than a thousand years, but today it looks much better than then. Here you will enjoy elegant yachts and nice cafes and restaurants serving seafood and other Mediterranean dishes.
There is a small but very colorful market with dozens of souvenir shops selling tableware, clothes, and accessories in the local style.
Beautiful narrow and not very narrow streets, built in the traditional Balearic style, diverge from the port in different directions. Souvenir shops and cozy cafes hide in bright stone houses with low ceilings, as well as numerous restaurants of Mediterranean and Italian cuisine. So if you decide to eat lobster, the restaurants in the port of Ibiza are the perfect place.
The port offers a beautiful view of the old town of Ibiza. From here it is also easy to get to the main attractions like Ibiza Castle, the necropolis and the Museum of Modern Art.
During the day people come to the port to sit in the shade of the palm trees and watch the masts reflected in the sea. And in the evening, an indescribable atmosphere of relaxation reigns in the port: lights are lit, people from all over the city come to the sea. They walk, chat, and laugh... Aromas of shrimps and soft music come from cafes and restaurants, and the nightclubs are preparing to start the parties.
