This museum on San Pantaleo island, 10km north of Marsala, houses a unique collection of Phoenician artefacts assembled over decades by amateur archaeologist Joseph Whitaker. Its greatest treasure (recently returned to Sicily after two years at London's British Museum and Los Angeles' Getty) is Il Giovinetto di Mozia, a 5th-century-BC Carthaginian-influenced marble statue of a young man.
To get here, drive or bike to the Mozia dock 10km north of Marsala and catch one of the half-hourly, 10-minute ferries operated by Mozia Line .
