Meta review

This is one of the most popular archaeological sites in Menorca and, accordingly, it often makes appearances in travel guides with equally good comments online. Visitors enjoy the well-preserved structures (it is all relative), the info provided and the low entrance fees though some find those fees still to be high considering the small size of the site.

Environmental & Social

Green activity. Helps preserve the region's historical and archaeological heritages.

Conclusion

There are several Talayotic settlements on Menorca and Talatí de Dalt is arguably one of the better ones. Recommended for those with an interest in archaeology or history and happen to be in the eastern part of the island.

Key positive

Easy to get to from Mahón

Reasonable admission fee

Key negative

Not large

Suitability
