The Pensione Svizzera is just up the street from the bus depot in Taormina proper: no risk of getting wet if you book there!!!!!!

Other hotels in Taormina are far enough away from the bus depot that you would indeed get drenched in a strong rainstrom.

Put salt on the wound GAC! :-)

Via L Pirandello isn’t flat, but it’s also not a hill – More like an incline…

Villa Fiorita is right there as well….

Is interbus the only express bus service connecting from Catania Airport to Taormina?

there are taxis in the bus terminal to take you on a short journey to your hotel not costing much if the weather is so bad... its only 7.50 on the bus and the journey is beautiful.... dont let the rain put you off getting the bus because at that price its better than a taxi all the way from the airport when you could get a taxi at the bus station....sorry about the rain on your holiday...its a stunning place to visit.....the side streets and lane ways are lovely... we walked up and down them every day and still found new ones...

A taxi is always more expensive than a pre-arranged transfer – Expect to pay €90 for a taxi to Taormina and €67 for a pre-arranged transfer.

Welcome to Sicily Seanagdul!

Yes, take the direct Interbus service from Aeroporto Catania to Taormina. Buses will depart the airport at 13.45, 15.45, and 19.45.

Thanks for the advice with the Sunday landing and a day of traditional rest I wasn't sure if the public bus service was curtailed or running.
