The shuttle bus departs from the Ingresso del Complesso Portorosa Village, Via Faro, Furnari (ME) — the main entrance to the marina complex. You do not need to go to a motorway junction: the pickup is right at the gate.
The entrance is well signposted from the SS113 coastal road. If you are staying inside the complex, allow a few minutes to walk to the main gate with your luggage.
Be at the entrance at least 10 minutes before your scheduled run. The shuttle has already picked up passengers from Patti and cannot wait. Have your booking confirmation on your phone or printed. The Autonoleggio Di Paola driver holds a sign. Any issue? WhatsApp +39 331 617 2407 (09:00–20:00).

Flying early in the morning? Travel tips
For early morning flights, the night run A1-bis departs Portorosa at 02:10 and arrives at Catania Fontanarossa at 04:50. This is the run to take for flights from 07:00 onwards — it gives you a full 2 hours for check-in and security.
Work backwards: flight at 11:00? Be at the airport by 09:00. The shuttle takes roughly 2 hours 50 minutes from Portorosa, so board the 06:00 area departure. Check the timetable above and pick the run whose arrival gives you at least 2 hours before your flight.
Portorosa is popular in peak summer season. Secure your seat by booking early, especially in July and August when demand for the Catania Airport shuttle bus increases significantly.
What is the difference between a shared shuttle bus and a private transfer
Autonoleggio Di Paola operates a shared shuttle bus with mandatory advance booking. It is not a private car, not a public coach.
You travel with other passengers going the same way. Your seat is reserved, the run is guaranteed, and the itinerary follows fixed stops.
- Shared shuttle bus: €35 per person, fixed timetable, reserved seat — the sensible option for most travellers.
- Private transfer (NCC): exclusive vehicle for your group, any time you choose, priced per vehicle (€80–130 average).
Travelling alone or as a couple? The shuttle bus is the clear choice. Need a private vehicle from Portorosa? Visit our private hire service.
