Although the airport is located in a neighboring city, getting to the Taormina resort is quick and easy — various transport options are available. The most budget-friendly option is the bus. From Catania Airport to Taormina, buses run daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM (every 30–60 minutes) operated by Etna. The ticket costs 8.60 EUR if bought from the driver and 7.90 EUR if purchased online. In an hour and a half, you’ll be at your destination.
If you're concerned about the heat on the bus, you can take the train and enjoy the views of Taormina in just 40 minutes. A regional train ride from Catania Centrale to Taormina-Giardini costs 4.90 EUR.
Those who prefer a more comfortable journey can rent a car directly at Catania Airport or take a taxi. The fare is around 90–100 EUR, depending on the time of day and the provider.
