The Menorca region
Menorca is a peaceful island with an abundance of lovely beaches, pretty harbours and a genuine friendliness from it’s people. There are a plethora of sports available and a wide choice of restaurants to choose from
Known as the "Blue and White" for it’s sparkling white houses and deep blue sea, Menorca is located about 160 miles south of Barcelona and 30 miles north of Mallorca. The island measures approximately 35 miles long and 10 miles wide with sun bleached villages and pretty countryside.
It is one of the most enduring attractive of the smaller Mediterranean islands, with a particular charm and tranquility of it’s own. There are around 120 coves and sandy beaches, mostly with safe crystal clear waters ideal for small children. The roads are rarely busy and the landscape is one of rolling farmland, magnificent cliffs and exquisite sands. The South East of the island is partly flat with fields surrounded by dry stone walls while in the north are pine covered hills with wild flowers and scrubs.
There is a seemingly never ending array of restaurants lining the whole length of the marina offering all types of cuisine including the more traditional Menorcan dishes.
Fornells is a picturesque fishing village located within a very short drive of Son Parc to the North of the island. It is ideal for wind surfing and sailing with numerous sailing schools located in the area. There are a variety of seafood restaurants and cafes gathered around the harbour offering local dishes including Caldareta de Langosta a delicious local seafood casserole made with lobster.

How to get there
Villa Olivia is located in Son Parc, Menorca
Flights & Car Rental There are approaching 15 airlines which fly to Mahon airport, Menorca including Monarch Airlines, Britannia Airlines, Air 2000, European Airlines & BA. A copy of the Menorcan Flight Directory may be obtained by telephoning Celtic Holidays 01634 868600 who are also able to book flights and car hire.
We recommend hiring a car to give freedom to explore the island. However it is possible to travel around the island on public transport. A previous guest who decided not to hire a vehicle wrote. “The coach style services are clean and efficient and quite well priced if a little infrequent". They seem to stick well to their timetable, but can run a bit early or a bit late and are not very flexible about where they drop or pick up. You can get all over the island, though often via Mahon and you need to plan your return times as some services are limited.
For information on public transport, please see www.autosfornells.com and www.e-torres.net.
