Ibiza 1 - Fly & Drive
The most popular way to travel to Ibiza is
by air. Annually,
more than 4 million passengers pass through the airport of the biggest island of the Pitiüses. The airport
is known as Es Codolar, in Sant Francesc Xavier, and is seven kilometres from the city of Ibiza. From this airport there are
regular connections
with Majorca and Minorca, operating throughout the entire year, as well as connections with the Spanish peninsula and
various European capitals.
Via sea,
travel is possible to the ports of Ibiza city and of Sant Antoni. Ships from the
Trasmediterranea company,
among others, arrive in Ibiza city from Barcelona (9 and a half hours), València (six and a half
hours), Palma (four and a half hours) and from the Balearia company, ships arrive from Dènia, Palma
and Formentera (45 minutes). Pitiusa Transport (PITRA) operates the link between Ibiza and Formentera with
a journey time of around an hour.
Into Ibiza's second port, Sant Antoni, arrive the ships of
Balearia,
travelling from Dènia, Alacant (four hours) and Palma (four
hours). In summer, a fast-ferry is operated that connects
Palma with Ibiza in two hours and Ibiza-Valencia in
three hours.
If one prefers to travel around the island
by car,
the road network of Ibiza is organised radially around the capital, and the important connecting roads
are those such as Ibiza City-Sant Antoni or Ibiza City-Sant Joan. The rest are of local character. Four
bus companies
have a combined network that covers the island and
provides access to all its villages.
