Product Description
Slim, stylish and pocketable, Rough Guide DIRECTIONS is the complete authoritative and user-friendly guide to Ibiza and Formentara. Thoroughly researched, it covers virtually every beach in the island, including hidden coves only accessible by foot, and picks out the finest of Formentara’s unspoilt sweeping sandy expanses. There's opinionated advice about Ibiza's best bars, which clubs to hit and which dance floors to dodge, as well as suggestions on where to dine, from hip fusion restaurants to economical backstreet tapas bars. All accommodation options, from boutique-chic hotels in Ibiza Town to the best value budget hostels are covered, and there's plenty of attention devoted to Ibiza's greatest historical sights, including the medieval walled city of Dalt Vila. The guide also features a language section, menu reader and chronology of history. Accurate maps will help you plan your route whilst the essentials section offers practical advice on getting around, money, food and drink, festivals and all the information you’ll need on the ground

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Firstly let me start by saying I love rough guides, much better than the rest in my opinion. I have bought dozens of them and they are of a consistently high standard.
This version was a real let down, this is the second visit to ibiza, I have the mini rough guide for ibiza (published I think in 2003) which I took for my last trip and I thought I'd buy an updated one as this is newly released. This is essentially a cut down version of the other one, the majority of the book is a direct lift from the ond one with no update. You'd be far better buying the other rought guide ibiza book than this 'directions' edition.
My real gripe however are the directions to places listed, which are shocking, we have tried to get to several places listed and each time the directions were so bad that they were virtually worthless and at best sent you on a wild goose chase.
I would advise anyone not to bother with this edition, please buy the other rough guide to Ibiza!

Whoever you are, whatever your age or demographic this guide will help you discover the real Ibiza. Extensive listing of all the clubs (for ALL tastes), beaches (family - nudist) from secluded coves to party beaches, great recommendations for Vineyards & in-land towns full of interesting sights.
I couldn't find any good recommendations when I bought this guide, don't think twice its well worth the fiver.As long as you are prepared to travel around this little book is full of some real gems. We went for a family holiday for 1 week in April - with the benefit of a hire guide - this guide was my bible for the week.
I would definitely recommeds a trip to Sn Gertrudis, Benirras Beach and the flea market at the Hippodrome on Saturday morning.

A little dissapointing update after the original Rough Guide to Ibiza and Formentera. It lacks some detail but still the best guide there is whether you are an Ibiza virgin or seasonal resident.
