How to get to Sicily: direct flight schedule, ticket prices

Getting to Sicily is very easy - in most cases a plane will suit you. Direct flights are from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rome and other major cities of Italy. You can also take a ferry from Naples, the neighboring islands of Sardinia or Malta. Consider all options and ticket prices.

From Moscow

Direct flights from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport to Palermo and Catania on Saturdays from April 01, 2017 are operated by Alitalia.

A one-way ticket for a direct flight costs about 15,000 rubles, travel time 4 hours 15 minutes. A couple of thousand can be saved if you fly with a transfer in Rome, then the road to Sicily will take about 7 hours - then everyone decides how much his time is worth. I advise you to buy tickets on the official website www.alitalia.com especially since they have a Russian version.

Starting from April 27, 2017, S7 Airlines also operates direct flights to Catania from Moscow Domodedovo Airport every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

The cost of tickets, including regular baggage of 23 kg, starts at 10,000 rubles.

I advise you to read:

On a ferryboat

We recommend that you look at all departures from the mainland of Italy to Sicily, calculate the price of the crossing and book tickets in the special section of the site www.directferries.ru - this is much more convenient than understanding the intricacies of Italian sites. Moreover, the price is exactly the same for you. A huge plus is that all the nuances and details of the trip are detailed in Russian.

From Naples and Salerno

From Naples and Salerno several times a day ferries go to Catania, Palermo and Messina.

For example, the cost of transporting 2 passengers and a car from Naples to Palermo will be about 120 euros. Travel time 10 hours 30 minutes.

Ferries to Sicily also run daily from Sardinia (from Cagliari to Palermo), Malta and other mainland cities.

Starting from the 17th century, the championship in this art form belonged alternately to Venice and Naples until the construction of a new theater, La Scala, was completed in Milan in 1778.

Palermo airport and how to get to the city

A common myth: all Sicilians are mafioso, or at least do not impede the criminal activities of clans. This is far from the case. Otherwise, Palermo airport would not have been named in honor of two irreconcilable fighters against the mafia, who died tragically at her hands - judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. Now their names on the plaque at the entrance to the terminal serve as a reminder to the whole world that justice exists and is inevitable.

As you know, the railway station is the visiting card of any city - it is the first to be seen by city guests. Florence was lucky with a business card - the main city station of Santa Maria Novella looks very impressive. The architectural style of the building resembles a Romanesque basilica, of course, rationalized and modified in accordance with the ideas of Italian modernists of the 30s of the last century.
