The nearest airport to Taormina is Catania–Fontanarossa Airport (CTA), located approximately 50 kilometers (31 miles) away. Catania Airport serves domestic and international flights, making it the most convenient option for travelers attending our wedding.

Will my flight to Catania (nearest airport to Taormina) have a layover?

It's highly likely. Flights to Catania Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) often involve layovers, especially if you're flying from destinations outside of Europe. We recommend spending a night or two in a city in mainland Italy and then taking a short plane ride to Catania from your original destination. Rome (Fiumicino Airport - FCO), Venice (Marco Polo Airport - VCE), Milan (Malpensa Airport - MXP), and Bologna (Guglielmo Marconi Airport - BLQ) are a few of the cities that offer direct flights to Catania.

For an ideal visit to Taormina, plan to stay between 4-7 days to fully appreciate the beauty and charm of this Sicilian gem. We stayed 5 days and wished we had stayed longer!

Is there any specific passport information I should be aware of before traveling to Sicily?

It is essential to double-check your passport's expiration date and ensure that it meets the validity requirements for entry into Sicily.
