Mozia was one of the destinations that I most appreciated in one of my many trips to western Sicily for its unique characteristics.<\/p>\n\n

The island of San Pantaleo (Mozia) is an island of about 45 hectares, the largest of a small archipelago in front of the Stagnone reserve located between Trapani and Marsala protected from the open sea by the Egadi islands archipelago formed by Favignana, Marettimo and Levanzo.<\/p>\n\n

Isola di Mothia Trapani or Isola Mozia was a Phoenician trading town in the 12th century B.C., an outpost for the development of trade in the area.<\/p>\n\n

Ornella and I, together with our unfailing travelling companions John and Piera, visited it a few years ago, but now that it has become increasingly difficult to travel abroad on the road, it can be an interesting destination to visit.<\/p>\n\n

Mozia how to get there<\/h3>\n\n

To get to the Island of Mozia or Island of Mothia we arrived at the salt pans of Marsala dello Stagnone, from here small boats will take you to the island sailing in the shallow waters of the Stagnone.<\/p>\n\n

The approach to the island is also a spectacle where you can admire the salt pans, the large number of birds that use the area as a stopover for migrations and the Egadi islands on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n

When we visited the island of Mothia the cost was \u20ac 5 for the ferry and \u20ac 9 to visit the island and the Museum. Although we were surprised by the second bigletto, her visit was worth the price!<\/p>\n
