Menorca

With its typically Mediterranean climate, and being the most temperate one of the Balearic islands, Menorca can be visited all year long. Thanks to the refreshing sea breeze, it never gets too hot during the summer. The average temperature of 25°C (77°F) during the summer season (June to September), is enriched by 11 hours of sunshine. The winter (November to February) can be marked with heavy rainfall. Keep in mind, therefore, that many establishments with outdoor activities can be closed during the colder months, but the islands will nonetheless be lively, and luckily also not as crowded as during the peak season.

Menorca Airport is located four kilometres southwest of the capital. In the summer, buses link the airport with Mahón every half an hour. Taxis are available outside the arrival hall, but alternatively, you can hire a car at one of the many on-site rental offices.

The bus company TMSA covers a variety of routes on the island, but cars, motorbikes and bicycles are also suitable means of transportation, with roads that are generally well signposted. There are also cycle lanes on some of the minor roads. Keep in mind that several of the more popular coves are only accessible by private roads, and a small toll may be charged.

Taxis are generally inexpensive, and with fixed rates for longer distances. The cars are white and use meters to calculate the total fare of the ride. One of the most known is Taxis Mahón, but there are several other services operating across the islands: Menorca Taximar +34 609 054 444 Radio Taxi +34 971 367 111
