Driving Directions:
Getting there. The hotel offers a transfer service to and from the airport (surcharge). Taxis are available outside the terminal and fares to the hotel cost around 80 EUR. The nearest train station is Taormina Giardini Naxos, five kilometres from the hotel. The best way to get around Taormina is on foot or by bicycle. Cars are available to hire, but the town centre traffic is so busy it is best to leave the driving to the locals and make use of bus services instead.

Driving directions. From the airport follow signs for Tangenziale Ovest and A18/A19 Autostrade. At the junction for Tangenziale ring road, turn right for A18 Messina. Continue for about 17 kilometres to the end of the ring road and the Catania Nord toll booth of the A18. Continue along the motorway for approximately 40 kilometres, exiting after the Taormina toll booth. Follow signs for Taormina Town Centre. Bear right at the fork on Via San Pancrazio and continue to the top of the road. At the Port Messina Archway turn right and immediately left. Continue past the limited access sign (Grand Hotel Timeo guests are admitted at any time), and bear left when the road forks. Follow signs to the hotel.
