Playas de Fornells is a smart and exclusive resort very near to the traditional fishing village of Fornells. It is a short journey 20 miles north west of the capital Mahon and the international Aeropuerto de Menorca, and there are regular bus services between the main towns, and the airport and Playas De Fornells. A taxi fare from the airport, or Mahon itself, to Playas de Fornells should cost around 30€ for a taxi carrying 4 people plus luggage. The north of the island, particularly in summer, lends itself to relaxing away-from-it-all family holidays, and the evenings the many welcoming bars and restaurants provide very high quality cuisine and a friendly atmosphere, without the frantic clubbing environment of resorts in the south. The second city Cuitadella (to the West) is a charming sophisticated port with beautiful architecture, many elegant shops and also a lively street market at night, perfect for a stroll after dinner at one of the many port-side restaurants.
