Why you’ll love this…
  • Set sail for a full day boat trip from pretty Ciutadella
  • Explore the unspoilt southern and western coastlines
  • Pause for swim and snorkel stops at secluded beaches
  • Tuck into tasty paella and sangria for lunch on board
  • Expert local guide with unrivalled knowledge of Menorca
What to expect

If you want to get a fresh perspective on Menorca's magnetic coastline, then this leisurely cruise is just the ticket. You'll set sail from Ciutadella harbour and from your vantage point on deck, you'll catch sight of sparkling white beaches, secluded coves and rocky promontories of the southwest coast. Nicola, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Menorca may be five-times smaller than Majorca but many claim it has more kilometres of beach than any of the other islands in the Balearics. You get to see quite a few sandy stretches on this boat trip.'

During your cruise, there'll be time for a couple of stops along the way, to soak up the sun at one of those hidden coves or to make the most of the beautifully clear sea. You won't be able to resist cannonballing into the water or a snorkel in the aquamarine waters this corner of the Mediterranean is famous for. Once you've refuelled on a tasty lunch of paella washed down with sangria, the anchor will be lifted, and the fun begins again.

You'll continue along the rugged, pine-clad coastline. Nicola says, ‘Many areas of this coast are still wild and undeveloped. Keep your eyes peeled for interesting birds – there are 200 species found on Menorca. Perhaps you'll also catch sight of one of the caves used by smugglers to stash tobacco and coffee in times past.' This is a fantastic day out at sea enjoying Menorca's coastal scenery and chilling out on secluded beaches.

    The only thing I can say is on the boat the announcements weren’t very clear over the noise of the engine and people talking, which was a shame.

    The boat cruise itself was ok. Access to beaches wasn't the easiest for everyone & the paella lunch provided wasn't to everyone's liking, so much was wasted so maybe some thought needs to be put in about lunch options available. Toilet facilities all round not the best.

Veneretki Mahonin satamassa, markkinat ja ginitislaamo

Mikä voisikaan olla parempi tapa viettää muutama tunti kuin tutustua Menorcan historialliseen pääkaupunkiin Mahoniin. Tällä aamupäivän retkellä seilaat veneellä satamassa, tutustut omaan tahtiisi vanhaan kaupunkiin markkinapäivänä ja vierailet historiallisessa tislaamossa. Nicola, yksi paikallisoppaistamme, sanoo: "Jos raaputat pintaa syvemmälle, huomaat brittiläisten vaikutuksen monien vanhojen rakennusten ikkunoissa, paneloiduissa ovissa ja muualla. Ainutlaatuinen menorcalainen piirre on kuitenkin rubiininpunainen maali, jolla nämä talot on maalattu."Ensimmäisenä luvassa on lasipohjaveneretki Mahonin satamassa, joka on maailman toiseksi suurin. Seilaa linnoitettujen saarien välissä ja ihaile rantakadun molemmin puolin sijaitsevia ylellisiä huviloita. Jotkut niistä ovat peräisin 1700-luvulta, jolloin Menorca oli Britannian siirtomaa. Sitten suuntaamme Xoriguerin vanhaan ginitislaamoon. Täällä on valmistettu Menorcan suosikkijuomaa samalla reseptillä vuodesta 1736 lähtien – jälleen yksi symboli saaren brittiläisestä perinnöstä. Myöhemmin sinulla on vapaata aikaa tutustua Mahonin kaupunkiin omassa tahdissasi. Ihaile sen arkkitehtuuria, barokkikirkkoja, palmujen reunustamia aukioita ja kapeita mukulakivikatuja. Voit myös suunnata Plaza del Carmen markkinoille, jossa kauppiaat myyvät kojuissaan kaikkea aina juustoista ja kinkuista tuoreisiin hedelmiin 1600-luvulla rakennetun luostarin ympärillä.

Retket

Mahonin sataman, Binibecan ja Xoroin luolan kierros

Tällä kokopäiväretkellä tutustut Menorcaan sekä maalla että merellä. Teet veneretken Mahonin satamassa sekä vierailet Binibecan valkeaksi kalkitussa kylässä ja Xoroin luolassa. Nicola, yksi asiantuntevista paikallisoppaistamme, kertoo: "Legendan mukaan Xoroi-luola oli aikoinaan Xoroi-nimisen miehen turvapaikka, kun hänen aluksensa haaksirikkoutui myrskyn aikana. Tarinan mukaan mies rakastui paikalliseen tyttöön, mikä johti romanttiseen mutta traagiseen tarinaan, joka tekee tästä upeasta paikasta entistä mystisemmän."Aloitat päiväsi seilaamalla Mahonin satamassa. Satama-alue on viisi kilometriä pitkä, ja se on yksi maailman suurimmista luonnonsatamista. Satamaa reunustavat historialliset rakennukset ja linnoitukset. Kun olet takaisin kuivalla maalla, lähdet opastetulle kierrokselle Mahoniin, jonka jälkeen sinulla on vapaata aikaa kierrellä kaupungissa omaan tahtiisi. Nicola kertoo: "Muistutukset vuosisatoja kestäneestä Britannian vallan ajasta näkyvät vielä tänäkin päivänä – näet kaarevia erkkeri- ja ruutuikkunoita sekä samanlaisia ovien salpoja ja kahvoja kuin Britanniassakin". Sen jälkeen näet Binibecan kylän ja sen valkoiseksi kalkitut talot.Hieman edempänä rannikkoa pitkin itään mentäessä sijaitsee Xoroin kallioon upotettu luolabaari. Siemaile drinkkiä ja ihaile merinäköalaa Menorcan tyylikkäimmässä baarissa.
