A short charming boat ride to this interesting island is one of those hidden gems we read about. On the island is a small but perfectly formed museum, which houses the incredibly beautiful “Youth of Mozia” statue amongst other interesting artefacts. Some of the rooms are almost museum pieces themselves. The rest of island (give yourself a good hour to wander) is dotted with ruins and excavations. There is even a little cafe serving drinks but not food.

Very interesting place, lots of historical facts from different eras.

On the tiny Mozia island off the western coast of Sicily ?? is the Giuseppe Whitaker Museum, which houses a magnificent collection of Phoenician artefacts collected by amateur archaeologist Joseph ‘Giuseppe’ Whitaker. Motya was an ancient and powerful city. Motya has become known recently for the marble statue of the Motya Charioteer.

Another of Sicily's hugely important historical sites, massively worth the boat trip and certainly worth spending the time to walk around the island. The museum has featured on TV due to the importance of several of the finds on the island. One part that I particularly like is that to the north what looks like a causeway is actually the remains of a Phoenician Road.
