I can't say much about the archaeology of Menorca, as I saw virtually now, but I do know the family-placating aspects will be easy there. And if you're up for car hiring, I reckon you could get to see a fair bit of stuff even if limited to after bairns are gone to kip, as everything is quite close, and the roads don't seem too bad.

Have a great time wherever you end up Postie :)

Many many thanks,
We went to the travel agents this afternoon and with the Maltese temples being shut, and a considerable difference in cost between Sardinia and Menorca, we plumped for a bit of the dogs Balearics, cars hired (convertible) all's sorted, just 15 weeks of work and we're off.

Again many thanks
Postie

Yeah, the roads were fine for all (I think) the stuff we saw.

We adopted an approach of seeing a monument or mebbe 2 at the start of the day with the kids in tow then heading for the beach for the day. Then around 5-6pm we dumped the kids at the villa & headed off for a few more monuments without them.

Worked well!

Have fun

love
