Port summary
Most ships dock at Es Botafoc, the long eastern breakwater. A flat 20-minute walk along the dyke reaches the old marina and Dalt Vila; cruise-line shuttles cover the same distance in 5 minutes. Smaller ships sometimes use Moll de Ribera in the inner harbour, which is even closer to the old town.

Ships berth at Botafoc, roughly 3 km around the cove from the Old Town. The cruise-line shuttle or the Sagalés port bus (€6 return, cash to driver) both drop at the Formentera Ferry Terminal, a few minutes' walk from the foot of Dalt Vila; from there the climb to the ramparts and cathedral is entirely on foot and free. The walk back to the ship is flat but a dull 40-minute loop in the heat, so the bus is worth it.

The Formentera ferries (Baleària, Trasmapi, Aquabus) leave from the same Formentera Ferry Terminal where the cruise shuttle drops you, so no extra transfer is needed to reach the boat. A return fast-ferry ticket is about €48pp and the crossing is 30–45 min each way. On Formentera, a local bus or the L3 line runs from La Savina to Ses Illetes (~€5); the beach itself is free but sunbeds and beach-bar lunch add up. Watch the last sensible return ferry against your all-aboard time.
