Check if this is missing in your apache.ini:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Apache2.4 & Laravel 5.4 with alias in a subfolder doesn't work without /index.php
I've created an alias on apache server conf file (/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.conf) to target the public folder.
Alias /laravel/ "/home/user/dev/web/laravel/public/"
<Directory "/home/user/dev/web/laravel/public/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Also, I wrote the following .htaccess
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ / [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/laravel/(.*) /laravel/index.php/ [L]
Now, when I'm visiting the http://IP/laravel , the index.php is loaded as expected. But if I'm gonna make a call to a GET Route like http://IP/laravel/load_examples I'm getting back a NOT FOUND error.
Instead, if I visit the http://IP/laravel/index.php/load_examples, route loaded as expected.
It seems to me that something's going wrong with the .htaccess and rewrite rules.
I tried everything I found on the SO and other places but couldn't find any solution so far.
Any idea?

DirectoryIndex was index.html index.php and I changed it into what you suggested but nothing changed.
Also I changed the Rewrite rule to something strange but it seems that apache doesn't apply the rules of the .htacces e.g
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/laravel/(.*) /wtf/index.php/ [L]
with that rule the request didn't change to /wtf/ and in the logs I see
"GET /laravel/load_examples HTTP/1.1" 404 514
Shouldn't be "GET /wtf/load_examples HTTP/1.1" 404 514 ?

Hmm... Are you sure mod_rewrite is even enabled? Try adding some gibberish to the top of the .htaccess file. This should cause a 500 error. If it doesn't it doesn't, it means apache isn't reading the file.
Just out of curiosity - wouldn't it be easier to set up a VirtualHost in stead of using the IP?
Level 1
It indeed cause a 505 error and rewrite module seems to be loaded
$sudo a2enmod rewrite
Module rewrite already enabled
As for the VirtualHost, I don't want to connect the server with a domain and I suppose that this is a bottleneck in order to use the VirtualHost. Unless I'm wrong.
