Puerto Antiguo de Ciutadella
Ciutadella's old port is a narrow natural harbour carved into the rock, steeped in centuries of seafaring history and lined with traditional stone buildings, cafes, and restaurants right at the water's edge. The port is naturally sheltered, though keep in mind it's occasionally hit by the rissaga — a rare tidal surge that can dramatically drain and refill the harbour in minutes. Stroll the promenade to watch fishing boats and yachts bobbing side by side, and you're steps away from the medieval old town, one of Menorca's most atmospheric.
