Menorca is approximately 47km in length and 19km (at its widest point) meaning that the island has much coastline to explore and many beautiful coves and beaches. The Mediterranean is a constant factor in Menorca, meaning boating and water sports are very popular. In particular the harbor of Fornells on the north coast which windsurfers and yachts men flock to due to its great sporting conditions.

Menorca unlike the other Balearics is not known for its mountains or hills, infact the highest point on the island is only 354 meters above sea level, this being Monte/Mount Torro, upon which is the shrine of the patron saint of Menorca and the islands Nunnery. From here you can see spectacular views of the island and its coastline, and on a clear day even the coastline of Mallorca.

Menorca is known to locals here as "Isla de azul y verde" (Island of Blue & Green) due to its vast sea views and wonderful country landscapes.

Menorca is fairly protected from development meaning its countryside and landscapes are mostly untouched. It is a very green island with vast countryside to explore.

Cyclists from all over come to the island to use its tracks which explore the meadows and woodlands, which offer some spectacular views of Menorca and the Mediterranean.

Menorca really offers something for everyone, from young to old, adventurous to laid back. In the north a rocky coastline, in the south sandy bays and crystal waters.

There are 2 main towns in Menorca, these being the oldest and biggest on the Island. Mahon, or Mao to locals is the Capital of Menorca, which is home to the second deepest natural harbor in the world, the largest being pearl harbor in Hawaii! It's second town, Cuitadella which is Menorca's old capital located on the southern tip of the island.

Mahon is a busy port, with ferries and cruise ships using its facilities, it has some wonderful attractions, including Fort Marlborough and Fort La Mola (where hornblower was filmed) which are well worth a visit for history lovers young and old.

Cuitadella is a town filled with cobbled streets and old architecture, with many religious places to visit. It has a harbor where ferries to neighboring islands operate, but the islands main harbor remains Mahon.
