Places we like in Marsala

Day trips
Marsala and Mozia (Motya)
Motya was a powerful ancient city on San Pantaleo island in the Stagnone lagoon between Trapani and Marsala. Its excavations and the Giuseppe Whitaker museum, home of the marble Motya Charioteer found in 1979, are run by the Fondazione Whitaker. Marsala is a short regional train ride from Trapani, and a day combining the lagoon, the island and Marsala's centre is one of the easiest public-transport outings from a Trapani base.
- Mozia ticket (seen 4 November 2026): €12 full, €6 under 18, island and museum included, boat not included; museum closed 14:00–15:00.
- Closures: 25 December 2026, 1 January 2027, 11–24 January 2027; weather closures possible, so check the site the day before.
- Train Trapani → Marsala: about 10 direct trains a day, 27–37 min, €3.40 (Trenitalia, checked for 11 November 2026).

Experiences
Stagnone lagoon (Riserva Naturale Orientata Isole dello Stagnone di Marsala)
The shallow lagoon north of Marsala, a regional reserve since 1984, with several islands including San Pantaleo, site of the Phoenician city of Motya (Mozia). The Fondazione Whitaker runs the island and its museum, home of the Motya Charioteer statue. The water is mostly 1–2 m deep, which is why kitesurfers use it. Marsala is a short train ride from Trapani, and the lagoon, Mozia and the town's wine cellars fill an easy full day.
- Mozia ticket (Fondazione Whitaker, seen 4 November 2026): €12, €6 up to 18; the boat crossing is not included. Museum closed 14:00–15:00.
- Island closed 25 December 2026, 1 January 2027 and 11–24 January 2027, and can close in bad weather.
- Train Trapani → Marsala: about 10 direct regionals a day, 27–37 min, €3.40 (Trenitalia, checked for 11 November 2026).

Day trips
Selinunte Archaeological Park
Selinunte was a rich Greek city on Sicily's south-west coast, between the Cottone and Modione rivers, with temples from 550 BC, five of them on the acropolis; it may have had 30,000 inhabitants before 409 BC and was abandoned in 250 BC. The site covers about 2.7 km² and is described as the most extensive archaeological park in Europe. It lies in Castelvetrano, between Triscina and Marinella di Selinunte. Easiest by car, ideally on a weekend with Marsala and Mozia.
- Check ticket prices and opening hours before going: no official park website was found during our research.
