Despite the airport being located in a neighboring city, getting to the resort town of Taormina is quick and hassle-free, thanks to various transportation options available. The most budget-friendly option is the bus. From Catania Airport to Taormina, the Etna bus company operates daily from 8 am to 10 pm, with buses running every half hour to an hour. The cost of the trip is 8.2 EUR if purchased from the driver and 7.5 EUR when booked online. In about an hour and a half, you'll arrive at your destination.
For those concerned about the heat on the bus, the railway is another option, providing stunning views of Taormina in just 40 minutes. The fare for a regional train ride from Catania Centrale to Taormina Giardini is 4.30 EUR.
Those who prefer a comfortable journey can rent a car directly at Catania Airport or opt for taxi services. The cost of the trip is approximately 40 EUR.
