Menorca: good to know
Is Ciutadella or Maó better for a first Menorca stay?
Ciutadella is the more atmospheric evening base; Maó is easier for the airport and eastern harbour. Rural hotels between them work best when the property itself is part of the trip.
How many days do you need in Menorca?
Four nights work for one side of the island. Six or seven allow both coasts, unhurried beach days and time at the hotel.
Can you stay in Menorca without a car?
A town-based break is possible without one, but a car makes rural hotels and coves substantially easier. Taxi supply can tighten in peak season.
