3. Discreet Minorca (Menorca) and its wild beauty

Minorca is perfect for lovers of nature and open spaces! Declared a Biosphere Reserve in 1993 by UNESCO and much more discreet and preserved than Ibiza and Majorca, the island is a real paradise for hikers and tourists wanting to reconnect with nature. Walking, horse riding and canoeing are just some of the many outdoor activities on offer in Minorca allowing you to see the island from a different perspective.

In terms of culture, you can discover multiple vestiges of Talayotic culture, an ancient people who occupied the island during the Bronze age, and visit the beautiful cathedrals of Santa Maria in Mahon, the capital and Santa Maria de Ciutadella.

Just a 90-minute flight away from Lyon, you can have a great holiday in Minorca with easyJet, Volotea and Transavia.
