A car is essential for exploring the region — beaches, villages and day trips all require one. All major agencies are at Catania Airport (Europcar, Hertz, Avis, Sixt, Enterprise). Book ahead in summer.
Expect €40-60/day in season for a small car. A saloon or SUV handles Sicilian back roads comfortably.

Taxi
Taxis are available at the airport exit. Agree on the price before getting in (no meter on long-distance routes). Expect approximately €80-100 to Noto.
Bus (budget option)
InterBus runs two daily services between Catania Airport and Noto (town centre stop). Journey: 1h25. Fare: ~€9-12 per person. Check timetables at interbus.it.
