Very convenient location for this nice flat, you may go to many places (Noto, Syracuse, Agrigente are where I have been to) from Alcala, just 5 min walk from the apartment. For the other places like Taormina or Etna, you may walk about 25-30 min to get to the other central bus station (next to the train station). Giuseppe is very nice, he welcomed us and explained us everything. And of course, don't forget to try the arancina and the pizze downstairs :)
