A ride to discover islets, castles and fortresses
If you are travelling as a family an unforgettable experience awaits you: the crossing of the enormous port of Maó, the largest natural port in the Mediterranean, the expanse and historical importance of which can only be appreciated from the sea. A maritime excursion with commentary that is essential if you wish to experience the intense history of Menorca.
There are many sites to be discovered, such as the English cemetery, the island of Lazareto, former quarantine hospital, the La Mola Fortress, the Sant Felipe castle, the Es Castell settlement, with its picturesque fishermen’s cove, the Isla del Rei and beautiful colonial houses such as Lord Nelson’s home. There are also wonderful panoramic views of the cliffs and of the old quarter of the beautiful city of Maó. A one-hour trip that you and your family will remember as being quite intense.
