Formentera

Formentera is the smallest and most southerly island of the Balearic Islands group. It is 19 kilometres long and is located ca. 3 nautical miles south of Ibiza in the Mediterranean sea.

The island is not a very popular tourist location, which makes it a much more quieter place than the other islands in the region. It is mostly known for the fact that nude sunbathing is allowed on most of its beaches.
