By Tom Binns

If you have never been to the Balearics, also known as the Balearic Islands, you have no idea what you...apos;re missing. Set in the Western portion of the Mediterranean Sea, this archipelago of islands is rich with mystical history and interesting stories.

No one really knows anything about who initially occupied the islands, or even when that occupation took place. Mysterious stories of a Boeotian shipwreck crew that developed their own form of society are rampant. Yet others are sure that the islands were never inhabited until after the Trojan War when conquering island chains had become part of an overall dynasty.

In recent history those from Northern Europe have found the Balearics to be a favorite destination for holidays. With ample amenities for chartering and boat hire as well as a great lay out for relaxed visiting, these islands are known for their friendly and spirited nature. Guests of the islands can expect to have exquisite treatment as well as a fun based experience.

There is a melting pot mentality happening as more people find the coastline captivating and the inspiration mesmerizing. A mecca for writers and poets, this is a holiday destination that may never let you go.
