What better way to spend a few hours than savouring the delights of Mahon, Menorca's history-steeped capital? On this half-day tour, you'll enjoy a harbour boat trip, have free time to explore the old town on market day and taste the goods at a historic distillery. Nicola, one of our expert local guides, says, “If you scratch beneath the surface, you'll find the British influence in many older buildings such as sash windows, panelled doors, lunettes and more. But a uniquely Menorquin touch is the ruby-red paint on these houses.”First up is a boat trip in Mahon harbour – the second largest in the world. Glide between fortified islets and admire the opulent villas lining the waterfront on either side. Some date from the 18th century, when Menorca was a British colony. The on-board commentary will fill you in on the historic details, while the lower deck windows give you a great underwater perspective. Back on land, it's on to the old Xoriguer gin distillery.

Among the stalls, look out for the distinctively square-shaped cheese, Queso Mahón-Menorca, it has a mild, buttery flavour and is a top choice for cheese-lovers looking to take home a memento of Mahon.
