Felt like we were miles away from the mainland instead a few hundred yards. A beautiful museum and insight into Phoenician history. A morning visit gave us a chance to fly a kite and have a leisurely walk around the grounds. A glass of Marsala on our return trip was the perfect ending to our voyage.

Please do this trip to the tiny island of Mothia, where if it is not on loan to a museum there is a fantastic Roman statue like the Venus, but a male version - really cool!
