The Quiet Side Of Ibiza

The Quiet Side Of Ibiza

By:


Ibiza may be known as a party island, but there is much more to this rock in the Balearics than nightclubs and dancing until the sun comes up. Ibiza citys Old Town is worth a visit, and outside of the citys limits there are a multitude of sights to visit away from the partying masses.

Sights

Ibiza citys old town, D'alt Vila, is a Unesco World Heritage Site and is surrounded by fortifications solid, 16th century walls that were the creation of Italian architect Calvi. The area is full of shops and restaurants, and the odd gallery if art is your thing. You can walk along the top of the walls to get a great view. The harbour of Ibiza city has the Corsair Obelisk, a statue dedicated to pirates, referring to a time when Ibiza was an island visited frequently by streams of sea-rogues. To indulge in a little more history, the Necrpolis del Puig des Molins, a well-conserved Phoenician tomb, lies within the city and is also worth a visit. To get away from the urban landscape, visit the small town of Santa Eulria in the Santa Eulria des Riu district; it has a lovely church with great views. If you like sea life, visit the natural cave Cova de ses Llegostes with its added aquarium, or for wildlife go to Ibizas salt flats, Las Salinas, which are no longer in use but are worth the trip as they have become the home to various plants, animals and birds including flamingos. Villages where you can see some of ibizas original thick-walled and white painted fincas (farmhouses) include San Rafael, Santa Gertrudis, San Jose, and San Carlos.

Caves

Around the island various underground caverns are dotted, such as the Cova de Can Mar to the north of the island, near to Port de Sant Miquel. There are also Cova d'es Culleram, which are the largest and probably most famous, Ses Fontanelles Caves where you can see remnants of ancient art, and the stalactite-filled Santa Caves Ibiza.

Natural Beauty

Of course you cannot help take in Ibizas natural beauty while you travel around the island, but to ensure you see the best take a trip to Sant Josep de sa Talaia, which is Ibizas largest district and where youll find not only impressive countryside but also the famous rock Es Vedra. As well as inland landscapes there are about 125 miles coastline to explore or to soak up the sun from, with more than 50 beaches and numerous small coves. And for an unspoilt mixture of coastland, mountains and forests head to the quite and calm Sant Joan de Labritja. Finally, for that extra bit of peace and quiet, take a boat trip off the main island to the uninhabited Es Vedra, Canjaro or Espalmador. You can now fly directly to the island, with airlines such as Fly Monarch offering cheap flights to Ibiza.



Make sure your property web page includes full contact information so visitors can get in touch with you quickly and easily. If you're on email, you'll want an email link so visitors can send you a message directly from your property web page. This is a bonus for your potential clients because they can reach you quickly and cheaply from anywhere in the world. You'll want to know how many visitors the site receives. Check if your chosen advertising company can give you easy access to these figures whenever you want. You need to make sure your Internet advertising company has a web site which is 'user friendly' - both for you as the advertiser but also for those all important site visitors looking for a vacation property. Is the site attractively presented and easy to navigate so visitors can easily find exactly what they want in the area of their choice? Another thing to bear in mind when using the Internet is that your property "posting" is probably going to be on-line for many months at a time - unlike a newspaper advert. So what if you need important text changes in that time e.g. a new contact telephone number? Check whether your Internet advertiser will do this for you and how much it will cost.

You may find you have late availability on your property, possibly through a last-minute cancellation, in which case you'll want to be able to let people know about it. Most good companies also offer attractive discounts if you advertise more than one property with them...so the more properties you put on the Internet, the cheaper your advertising costs. Vacation Property owners say one of the few drawbacks of Internet advertising is that you can find yourself swamped with rental enquiries. This is another reason to make sure you pick the right company. As long as your property is described in sufficient detail, you shouldn't be bothered with time-wasters. A good on-line property web page should answer nearly all the questions a prospective client might want to ask - so the majority of your enquiries should be from people only interested in checking the availability of your property for certain dates. It's a good idea, if you're on email, to create a standard response which can be used for email enquirers in cases where your property is fully booked for the period they're interested in. But don't forget to personalize your message - at least by using the name of the enquirer who could be one of your future clients.
