Menorca East & West Coast Coves
Stay in Mahón first and then Ciutadella, connecting south coast coves, north coast lighthouses, and prehistoric ruins.
Splitting your stay between the east and west saves you from driving across the island every day. Spend the first two days exploring Mahón harbor and southeastern villages, the third day in the center and north coast, the fourth day dedicated to the south coast coves, and the fifth day exploring the old capital before departing. The pace is relaxed, making it suitable for couples and families with older children. Long-distance hikes on the Camí de Cavalls are omitted, focusing only on short walks between coves.
From June to September, the Cala Macarella parking lot is closed; you can only get there by public bus or on foot.
