The journey
Ninety kilometres south, an hour and ten. Noto was rebuilt in golden limestone after the 1693 earthquake and the whole town is baroque. The main street is closed to cars in the evening, which is when it looks best.
Arriving at Catania Airport
Fontanarossa is seven kilometres from Catania, with Etna filling the view to the north. It is the busiest airport in Sicily and the arrivals hall is small for the traffic it takes.
- Seven kilometres to the centre, fifteen minutes when it moves.
- Taormina is sixty kilometres north and the coast motorway is quick.
- Etna excursions leave from Rifugio Sapienza, at 1,900 metres. The road up closes in snow.
How long it really takes
Maps says 70 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.
Realistically, 100 to 145 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.
When to book
Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.
Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.
