The conference venue is around 200 m from the Acitrezza Terminal Bus which can be reached from the Catania “V. Bellini” airport through public transportation. In particular, from the airport, it is needed to use the “ALIBUS” service up to the end of the line “Catania Central Station” (Piazza Giovanni XXIII) and from here the regular bus “534” again up to the end of the line “Acitrezza Terminal Bus”.
The ALIBUS is a cheap (€4,00), frequent (20 min.) and almost direct connection service (only a few stops) between Airport and Catania Downtown, while the 534 is a regular bus (€1,20) with much more stops and therefore needing around 60 min. to reach the Acitrezza Terminal Bus.
For this reason the Organization is evaluating a shuttle service, more details will be given in the final announcement.
