Wat zegt de verkoper

GIds met zowel autotochten, fietstochten en wandelroutes.
Until the sixties, Ibiza belonged to the Ibizans, and only a few artists, poets and writers lived in this paradise. Then the flower-children arrived, the hippies and drop-outs. In the last 30 years however, mass tourism has taken over and unfortunately destroyed much of the charm of Ibiza and Formentera. But not everything on the islands has been spoiled. ‘Bed and burgerbar’ building has reached saturation point, and a visit to the pine islands’ (the ‘Pityussae’, as the Greeks called them) is still worthwhile today. There’s an unending wealth of hidden beauty spots to be discovered, and this new edition of the book helps you to find the best of Ibiza and Formentera, whether you travel by car, bicycle, or on foot.
Best months for walking: March to June and September, October.
Where to Stay: If you’re planning to do a lot of walking on the island, it would be best to stay in Ibiza Town, since the bus network radiates from the capital and buses leave for all parts of the island each morning. Santa Eulalia and San Antonio are also good places to stay. If you hire a car, you have far more flexibility in your choice of resort. There is another good way of getting to and from walks — the coastal boat services (the book provides details of these as well as bus services).

Routes have been recently checked for this new Fifth edition – and there are two bonuses: firstly, there are now GPS tracks for all the walks and cycle tours; secondly, for the adventurous, the author has described a round-the-island hike for which detailed stages and GPS tracks are available on this website (see the ‘GPS tracks’ tab).
