Nice cosy room, not too small, own balcony. Big shared kitchen with beautiful view on Giardini Naxos. I walked from Giardini-Naxos train station to accommodation app. 20 min (careful, no pedestrian way). Nick was very kind and said he could have picked me up. Bus stop fermata "Giardini-Naxos - chiesa San Giovanni" 2 Min walk from the appartment. Busses run every day regularly to different destinations (Taormina, Catania + aeroporto, Alcatarra), just maybe wait 5-15 Min, be patient ;-). Last bus from Taormina 23:15. Check out interbus.it as well for timetables or directly at the bus stop (fermata). I recommand staying in Giardini Naxos and go by bus to Taormina (15-20 min ride). Say "andata ritorno" (return ticket) if you know you return and it is cheaper (e.g.: 3 Euro to Taormina instead of 1,70 Euro one way)
