We spent a few hours walking around this old town on our own, admiring the old Moorish history here, and the various arabic sites. There are various wall plaques throughout, showing the history of this place. Worth spending a little time getting lost in the maze of streets and eating at the local Tunisian places.

The island of Motya is the Pompeii of the Phoenicians and should be declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Take the boat of your choice: direct transfer to Motya or tour of the so-called Stagnone with the possibility of getting off in Motya. When you land on the island you will have to pay 6 euros because it is private property. Ask for the licensed guide Virginia Aloisi. Visiting the island with her is pleasant and engaging, you don't pay attention to the time that passes even in August under the sun. She will take you to the Whitaker Museum, he will describe with passion the statue of the young man of Motya, you will go to the house with the mosaics, to the remains of the temple and the sacred pool of Cothon and to the remains of one of the watchtowers of the Motya walls (the so called Casermetta - Guard House). Virginia will tell you about the native plant of the island (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) with emerald and ruby flowers that she has preserved from extinction. Finally, she will communicate strong emotions to you by reciting poems by Renzino Barbera. When the visit is over, you will be sad to have to leave.
