Car Hire Menorca Mahon

The Menorcan capital of Mahon was originally founded by the Carthaginians, and was under English occupation in 1722 to the island's capital. The English influence is also evident in the architecture. In addition to the winding streets and historical buildings, but also the beautiful natural harbour of Mahón is worth seeing. The former Franciscan monastery, where today a Museum is housed, is located directly above the harbour and offers a wonderful view. There is also evening still a lively activity on the 3.5 km long waterfront promenade. In addition to various shops, there are numerous restaurants offering typical specialities and above all great dishes with fresh fish on the promenade.

Mass tourism is in Mahon, to feel nothing as to the rest of the island. Because almost half of Menorca is protected, there are many hidden coves and beautiful quiet beaches with crystal clear water. It is so in any case, to take a car at a car hire in Mahon and to explore the area. A car can you then rest excursions to picturesque fishing villages and unspoilt coves and enjoying the impressive landscape. Also the former capital of Ciutadella with her original Mediterranean charm is worth a trip with the car. Ciutadella is located in the West of the island and is about 50 km from Mahon.
