Landing on the Island

Sicily has two main airports — both good, both easy:

Catania–Fontanarossa (CTA)

Catania is the straightforward, time-saving route if you want to get straight to the celebrations.

Drive time to Piazza Armerina

Approx. 1h and 20 minutes.

Why choose Catania CTA

The easiest and most convenient option if you’re just coming for the wedding.

Getting to Piazza Armerina from Catania

● Company: Etna Trasporti operates the bus service.
● Departure Point: The bus leaves from the Catania Fontanarossa Airport Bus Stop.
● Destination: It arrives at Piazza Armerina Viale Generale Muscara.
● Frequency: Services depart about five times a day.
● Duration: This is a direct route, taking approximately one hour and 30 minutes.

Palermo (PMO)

Palermo takes slightly longer, but rewards you with markets, happy music, and the kind of atmosphere that famously makes ‘the journey’ part of the experience.

Drive time to Piazza Armerina

Approx. 2h and 30 minutes.

Why choose Palermo PMO

Perfect if you’re making a longer trip. Plus, Palermo is one of our favourite cities, full of markets, music, and street dancing.

Getting to Piazza Armerina from Palermo

● No direct bus from the airport to Piazza Armerina: First, take a bus or train intoPalermo city center.
● From Palermo city to Piazza Armerina: Once in the center, catch a regional bus(operated mainly by SAIS Autolinee or sometimes Interbus) toward Piazza Armerina.
● Travel time: Expect 3 to 3.5 hours, depending on the route and connections.
● Tickets: Can be bought online at SAIS Autolinee or BusCenter.it, or at bus stations.

Driving in Sicily — the Easy Way to Get Around

Renting a car is the simplest (and often the nicest) way to explore Sicily at your own pace. Both Catania (CTA) and Palermo (PMO) airports have plenty of well-known rental companies on site — plus a few local gems. If you’re planning to road-trip, sightsee, or just prefer moving on your own schedule, this is your best bet.

Car Rental Companies at the Airports

Both airports offer the same familiar lineup:
Europcar
Avis / Budget
Hertz
Sixt
Enterprise
Locauto (local, often cheaper)

Car-Sharing Tips

It’s usually cheaper to rent a car with friends or other guests.

Road trips around Sicily are simply more fun with good company.

Driving Notes for Sicily

Driving has character — overtaking is common and sometimes… expressive.

In small towns, parking is more about skill than convenience.

Full insurance isn’t mandatory, but it’s the smartest thing you can buy before hitting the road.

What to See in Sicily

If you’re already taking the time to come on this trip, it would be a bit of a crime (the good kind) not to enjoy Sicily beyond our wedding. This island has everything: ancient ruins, postcard beaches, loud markets, a lot of good wine and even better food.

Here are a few highlights worth fitting into your trip:

Piazza Armerina’s Villa Romana Del Casale

Since you’ll already be in the area, this UNESCO site is home to some of the world’s mostimpressive Roman mosaics. Something like ‘Pinterest for the year 300 AD.’

Sicilia Outlet Village

If ancient ruins and volcanoes bore you a bit (we shan’t judge), there’s always retail therapy. The Sicilia Outlet Village is less than an hour from Piazza Armerina, with a bunch ofdesigner shops — Prada, Gucci, Armani, you name it — all sitting improbably in the Siciliancountryside.

Mount Etna

Europe’s tallest active volcano. On a good day you can hike or cable-car part of the way up; on a dramatic day, it might cancel your flight. Either way, unforgettable.

Valley of the Temples (Agrigento)

This is one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in the world. If you’ve ever wanted to casually stroll past Greek temples without flying to Athens, you’ve found your spot.

Beaches

Sicily has no shortage of coastline. A few favourites: Cefalù – golden sand, a medieval old town, and gelato worth missing your bus for. San Vito Lo Capo – white sand, turquoise water, and a very Caribbean vibe. Scala dei Turchi – white limestone cliffs, perfect for photos (less perfect for keeping your shoes clean).

Taormina

Perched high above the coast, Taormina proudly looks out over the Ionian Sea with good oldMount Etna looming around in the background. Its Greek Theatre is legendary — still usedfor concerts where the stage competes with a live volcano for attention. And if it rings a bell,yes — season two of The White Lotus was filmed here.

Palermo

The city in which we fell in love (and also, so cheesily, fell in love with each other). Palermo is everything at once: happy street music spilling into piazzas, food markets that never seem to end, locals dancing outside bars at midnight

A few things worth  knowing before you land

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Expect Italian time. Buses arrive… eventually.

Cash helps

Small towns love it.

Phone service can be patchy

Once you leave the motorway — download your maps.

Book flights early

September is popular.

Book rental cars VERY early

automatics sell out first.
