The cheaper alternative to many of the bigger beach resorts and popular towns, Es Canar has it all for those who want a great fun packed holiday...but on a budget.
The town itself has a real buzz with plenty of restaurants, cafés, bars, shopping and some lovely beach clubs. It's also the closest town to the wonderful Punta Arabi Hippy market, which is a mere five minutes walk from the centre of town. The town itself surrounds a tiny harbour and long sandy beach which offers plenty of water sports and sun bathing.
Built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, this aqueduct now runs for 425 metres and reaches 2 metres high at some points.
