Scoping out the transportation options in Giardini Naxos is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The most convenient airport is Catania (CTA-Fontanarossa), situated 26.6 mi (42.8 km) away. However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can arrange flights in and out of Reggio di Calabria (REG-Strait of Messina), which is 27.5 mi (44.2 km) away. If you want to venture outside the area, hop aboard a train at Alcantara Station.
