The main road on the island called the ME-1 runs through the centre of the island from the west coast close to the city of Ciutadella right through to the east side of the island to Mahon. The main road with a maximum speed limit of 90km per hour is used to navigate to most of the tourist resorts with roads branching off to the north and south of the island to the various resorts of Menorca.

 

Transfer times from the airport can vary depending on the destination resort and method of transport and range from 15 – 70 minutes on average depending on the location by coach transfer and 10 – 60 minutes by car.
