It’s worth hiring a car here, either the modest Seat, which is fine unless you’re deciding to explore some of the little roads which run off the main and only road of the island that connects Mahon and Ciudadella.
In which case beware, as these roads are not even tracks, but in some cases boulder-strewn wastes ready to crack the careless sump or bend the odd steering arm, or as has been known, break an axle of even the cleverest of drivers.
This is territory for big four by fours. So check your insurance. Have you a damage waiver?
Going down these tracks brings the explorer to the hidden coves that are rarely seen, except by boat, and even then some are unapproachable because of reefs. Stay here and be fairly sure no-one else will be there.

Car hire is very cheap in Menorca and you can travel the island end to end easily in a day. The roads are very quiet but if you are not experienced at driving abroad, avoid the city centres. The road system is a bit weird because there is one main road running between the two cities and the minor roads run off this to the resorts, to get to the next resort you have to go back to the main road then down the next minor road, there are very few coastal roads but all roads were quiet.
