Directions
IMPORTANT: Don't ask the locals the way! The square name had been recently changed so everybody knows a place of almost the same name but at the opposite side of city!
FROM CATANIA AIRPORT: Take bus number 457 (be sure to buy your ticket first from the ticket-office.) The bus-stop is at the end of Arrivals, found at the end of the airport building on the right. Subject of course to traffic conditions and time of day, the journey will take roughly 10 - 20 minutes, terminating at Catania Central Station.
FROM THE CENTRAL STATION: Outside the station, you will see a large, circular fountain with statues. Crossing the road, take the road facing you when you cross, called Via Marchese di Casalotto. Walk for approximately 500 metres along Via Marchese di Casalotto until you come to a small square called Piazza G. Falcone. You will see a church with a cupola on the right, and on the left you will find the hostel. (If you should get lost, call us for directions!)
