Mountains that drop steeply into the sea, valleys full of oranges and lemons, ancient olive trees, windmills, almond trees and long sandy beaches – Mallorca is a particularly beautiful part of the Mediterranean that is ideal to be explored from the sea. From Port Soller, the route leads along the coast and the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana around the Formentor peninsula. The lighthouse 210 m above the sea. Via the beautiful bays of Pollenca and Alcudia, the route continues eastwards for around 50 nm to Menorca. Especially worth to visit is Mahón, the capital and center of Menorca, and one of the largest natural harbours in the Med and a 3 nm long fjord and a pittoresque old town. Chronos is sailing back to Mallorca, with est. 60 nm the longest leg of the cruise. A perfect mixture of relaxed sailing, hidden bays and excursions ashore.
Unlike a traditional land vacation, seeing Mallorca by sailboat unlocks a hidden world of secluded coves, pristine beaches, and dramatic coastlines.
