Travel:
Menorca Airport is 20 minutes drive from Alcaufar. Although not essential, we recommend the hiring of a car in order to properly explore this lovely island. There is a regular bus service from Alcaufar to the capital, Mahon, which then connects to the very efficient island bus network and airport bus service. Should you wish to be collected from the airport our optional extras offer this facility.
Menorca:
The Island of Menorca is quiet, unspoilt and the least commercialised of the Balearic Islands, yet it still has every modern facility and is ideal for a real 'get away from it all' family holiday. Measuring only 35 by 9 miles, the island has numerous sandy beaches, coves, small bays and attractive fishing harbours around its rocky indented coastline, while the interior boasts several charming small towns and villages. There are several excellent bird watching regions, and the countryside offers numerous delightful walks, many of which include fascinating prehistoric sites and other places of historical interest. The capital, Mahon, is situated at the head of a magnificent harbour that some two hundred years ago was 'home' to the British Fleet under the command of Lord Nelson. The influence of the British, who ruled the island for a total of 70 years, can be seen in the Geogian architecture, in the language, many folk customs and in the locally manufactured gin!
