Advantages: Scenic, quiet family orientated beaches, short travel time. Disadvantages: Expensive, maybe too quiet for some.
way to get about and usually cheaper than the tour operators excursions. We hired a rather funny looking minivan for 75 Euros for one day but smaller cars were about 35 euros. The island is small and consists of one road going from Mahon at one end to Cuitadela with coastal roads going off, so driving is quite easy when you get used to driving on the left. We visited several places including....
MAHON
Lovely capital town with historic buildings and an amazing harbour. Some very expensive looking yachts. I believe Richard Branson has a home here.
CUITADELA
The old town is lovely, winding narrow streets, gifts shops and lovely churches with a small harbour.
CALA GALDANA
This is one of the most scenic resorts on the island. It has a small waterpark, lovely beach framed with wooded areas and lots of bars and cafes ...

Advantages: Great sights, lovely weather, fantastic location Disadvantages: None
Hi there!
I have just returned back today from Menorca, and had such a fantastic time, I wanted to share my experience in case anyone is looking for a brilliant holiday in the near future.
Myself and my partner arrived in Mahon (the recently made capital of Menorca) on 4th May 2007. We were travelling with Thomas Cook, and had booked a week in the Valentin Star Hotel (4*) located in Cala N Bosch on the South west Coast of Menorca.

Advantages: peaceful Disadvantages: .....almost too peaceful
I didn't have the greatest experience in Menorca, which I can partly blame myself for due to the lack of planning along with a desperate urge to get away from the 9-5. However, I can't be held completely responsible. Perhaps some of you can even learn from my mistakes......I know I have!
The plan was a last minute get away, short flight, somewhere peaceful and sunny, that was easy on the pocket. Not too much to ask for.....so I thought.
The first mistake I made was the timing. Me and my mother flew out to Menorca on the 2nd October for a week, this was 2 weeks before the end of season. The weather in Menorca can be quite unpredictable at this time of year, which is always useful in hindsight. For the first time ever as the plane took off, I had to shut the plane window, to protect my eyes from the blinding Manchester sun ...
