Coming from abroad?

If you are coming from abroad, you will land in Catania. My advice is to take the town of Giarre (about 40km from Catania airport) as a reference point and stay within a 10km radius. Here is a list of accommodations that I believe might suit your needs and therefore I recommend them:

Agriturismo Palazzo Rosso

Atlantis Palace Hotel

BnB Blue Colbalto

King House Hotel

Oasi Park Hotel

If you need to rent a car

If you're coming from outside the area, renting a car is a practical choice. Public transportation options can be limited outside of urban centers, and finding a taxi might be challenging. I've considered these factors to ensure you have a smooth experience while exploring the region. Renting a car will give you the flexibility to travel at your own pace and visit the many beautiful sites Sicily has to offer without the constraints of public transit schedules.
