Catania Airport to Taormina: pre-booked transfer
A chauffeur confirmed before you fly: GIORIZZ is a private chauffeur service reserved in advance. Your confirmed chauffeur waits in the Arrivals hall with a personalised nameboard, and your flight is monitored so the pickup follows the time you actually land.
Route and indicative journey time: The drive covers roughly 65 km on the A18 and takes about 55 minutes. Actual journey time depends on traffic and the exact pickup and drop-off addresses.
Hotels, villas and access in Taormina: Taormina's historic centre has access restrictions, so the final approach depends on your exact address. Where vehicle access is permitted you are taken to the hotel or villa entrance; where it is restricted, your chauffeur stops at the nearest authorised point and helps with your luggage. Tell us the exact address at booking and we plan the approach in advance.
Luggage, child seats and requests: Tell us your luggage at booking so the right class is assigned — skis, golf bags and extra cases included. Infant and child seats can be arranged when you book; just let us know the ages. A scenic stop on the coast road can be requested at booking, where timing and itinerary allow.
Starting from Catania city or the port: The same transfer runs from a Catania address, a hotel or the cruise port instead of the airport — roughly 55 km and about 45 minutes on the A18. On a scheduled pickup like this your chauffeur is in position 10 minutes before departure. Choose your pickup point when you book; the vehicle classes and the arrival in Taormina are unchanged.
