Ibiza Town really is THE most fascinating part of the island, day or night. Here you will see, in glorious living colour, a concentration of all the attractions and eccentricities which have made Ibiza world famous.

There is not much accommodation in Ibiza Town itself, most prefer to stay in nearby Talamanca or Figueretas (both with beaches). However if you wish to stay right in the centre of town, there are a few hotels and apartments.

Es Calo is a village on the main road through the middle of Formentera. There are shops nearby and a few local restaurants - all very convenient for self catering or eating out. Apparently Es Calo had a reputation as a hippy centre at one stage, although there is little sign of it now.

The local beach (called Ses Platgetes) is very near to the village - easy walking distance or even easier on the bicycles that can be hired.

The beaches on Formentera are mostly clothing optional. About a third or a half of the people on the beaches may be naked and the rest covered up.
