Take a trip in the afternoon to see the old part of Ibiza Town in all its glory or maybe escape the town altogether and enjoy the almost unexplored countryside of Ibiza. However, if clubbing is your thing, go to San Antonio where the bars, clubs and nightlife are considered the best in Europe before sleeping off your hangover on the beach.
The main attraction to Majorca is its capital, Palma, where many say is worth a trip on its own with lots of shopping and dining to be done. Although if that's not your thing, the mountains of Majorca are home to some of the prettiest villages in Europe including Soller and Valldemossa or perhaps hike along the rough mountain routes of the Serra de Tramuntara.
Menorca is renowned for its gin and a trip to the Xoriguer Gin Distillery is a well-worth trip for gin lovers! For history lovers, a trip to the Museu de Menorca contains the earliest history of the island. Like all the other Balearic Islands, Menorca has incredible beaches too and also a large town and port, Maó or Mahon, is noted for its bars and restaurants.
