It's interesting to note that ancient Greek and Latin names for the islands have survived: Gymnasiae and Baleares, according to Wikipedia. "According to one account, the islands were called Gymnesiae (gymnos means naked in Greek) because its inhabitants were often nude." To this day nude bathing is practiced on the island. The beautiful people head to Playa d’en Bossa, 3km outside of Ibiza city (marked on the map), according to Forbes.
