Best Daily Cruise in Ibiza
What are the Best Daily Cruise in Ibiza ?
When you come to Ibiza the beauties that instantly conquest your heart are the captivating nature of its coasts. The sea of the magical island, beside its little sister Formentera, has the reputation of having all the shades of blue- clear and turquoise, deep and dark. The water is so transparent that when you are sailing you can easily admire fishes, sea plants, stones, & even dolphins.
The Ibiza sea, one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean, is compared with the paradisiac coast in the Caribbean because of the Posidonia seagrass it has. This seagrass is responsible for the existence of an important endemic species. It contributes to maintaining the quality and oxygenation of the submarine eco-system which helps feed and protect many marine species and plants. Some meadows of Posidonia are the largest living organism in the world, being eight kilometers long and over 100,000 years old, making Ibiza an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The history of Ibiza coast stretches out from out-lived conquests and battles. From being more than 2500 years under the Phoenician, who came under the control of Carthage and then in turn under the Roman empire. Ibiza was also part of the Arabic Empire until Christianity returned to the island in 1235 Ibiza when it was taken back by the Catalans. In the 16th century, pirates used the white island as a strategic point in their way around the Mediterranean.
