When to visit

The best time to visit Giardini Naxos is during the summer months of June to August when the weather is warm and perfect for beach activities. However, if you prefer milder temperatures and fewer crowds, consider visiting in the shoulder seasons of spring (April-May) or fall (September-October). Winter can be rainy and cool, but it is a great time to explore the town's cultural attractions.

Getting around

Giardini Naxos is a small town that can easily be explored on foot. However, if you want to venture further out, there are local buses that connect Giardini Naxos to neighboring towns like Taormina. Taxis are also available for shorter trips or if you prefer more convenience. Renting a car is a good option if you want to explore the surrounding areas at your own pace.

Traveller tips

Don't forget to pack sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the strong Sicilian sun. Try the local seafood dishes at the waterfront restaurants for a taste of authentic Sicilian cuisine. Learn a few basic Italian phrases to communicate with the locals, as English may not be widely spoken. Be prepared for some steep hills and stairs when exploring the town, especially if you visit the ancient ruins. Take a boat tour to see the coastline from a different perspective and enjoy swimming in the clear waters.
