From the airport to the seafront
Giardini Naxos is the seaside resort below Taormina, about 58 km from Catania Airport, about 55 minutes by car. The airport bus costs 6 EUR and takes about an hour and a quarter, but it stops at the bus stop: to a hotel on the seafront there is still a stretch to go, with your bags.
With a private transfer your driver waits in arrivals and takes you to your hotel where traffic rules allow, even after an evening flight. See from the airport, Taormina and airport transfers.
