ExpertThe catamaran tour along Ibiza's southern coast covers coves around Es Vedrà and the cliff formations near Cala d'Hort that are unreachable by road, and it's the experience I always book first on this circuit: it sets a high bar for coastal scenery that makes every subsequent island stop read in relation to it. The farm-to-table dinner on Mykonos is the one I'd book first on the island: it takes you out of the port town entirely into the agricultural interior, where the food culture has nothing to do with the tourist waterfront. For the sunset catamaran from Imerovigli, request a late afternoon departure rather than evening; the light on the caldera cliffs at 6pm is warmer than the post-sunset hour most operators default to.
