Covid Test on Arrival at Catania Airport

I am planning to fly from the UK to Egypt via a transit flight at Milan Malpensa airport. If I remain within Malpensa airport for just a few hours, before catching my flight to Sharm EL Sheikh, would I need a negative Covid test certificate on arrival at Malpensa or is it not necessary? Egypt allows you to take a PCR test on arrival at the Red Sea airports such as Sharm, Hurghada etc for only $30, which is much cheaper than PCR tests in the UK.

Could any travelers familiar with covid testing near Catania historical city center or Catania airport share their resources with me? I haven’t made last 2 nights in Catania as of yet. Since, I’m still exploring options that would allow me to enjoy the city as well as be centrally located to bus/shuttle transport to airport and covid testing site. ThankYou so much!

We are ending our stay in Sicily in Taormina. We will be there for 3 nights. We are flying out of the airport in Catania, not until almost 10 pm. So my question is, stay in Taormina for the day, head to the airport later, get charged an extra day for the car. Or turn the car in early and do some sightseeing in Catania? If the latter, suggestions? I would prefer to check our bags early as to not worry about luggage storage. So we'd be sightseeing to and from the airport. Thanks!

Hello,

I am planning on visiting Palermo during Easter i.e. from 3rd April (Sat) till 6th April (Tue). I need a PCR test result before returning back to France (taken less than 72h). From what I understand only Antigen tests are provided at Palermo Airport for arrival passengers.

Is there a test centre which will remain open on Easter Sunday ? If yes, do I need to take an appointment or can I just show up and stand in a queque ?

Any information will be highly appreciated.

I’m seeking recommendation for my last 2 nights which will be in Catania. Unfortunately my flight was already canceled once by Delta. Therefore the only flight out to Rome is KLM, ticket already purchased.

I’m looking for an accommodation that would be feasible to explore Catania historic city center as well as be able to get to airport in time fir 6:35 departure. In USA it’s recommended to be at airport now 3 hrs preflight. I’m not sure how it works in Sicily? So any hotel resources or airport support direction greatly appreciated .

ThankYou for any feedback in advance.

We have an 8 am flight FCO to LHR booked.LHR requires a covid test 1-3 days before arrival. Will we have time after checkin to get the termal 3 20 rapid Covid test? Getting the test right at FCO would be easist for us. Looks like they test between 0000 and 1400.

Hi

I'm starting to plan a trip to Sicily and the Aeolian islands in early September (covid permitting of course) and I'd be grateful for some advice.

We're planning to fly into Catania Airport on an early morning flight from London, then head straight to Milazzo port to catch a ferry to Lipari and then stay as follows:

4 nights Lipari

3 nights Panerea

2 nights Taormina

Just wondering what's the best way to travel when we get to Catania? We need to get from the airport to Milazzo Port and then from Milazzo to Taormina, and finally from Taormina back to Catania airport to catch our mid-morning flight back home. Would we be best to hire a car for the whole duration and pay to park it for a week at Milazzo while we're in the Aeolian islands, or can we do everything easily by bus/public transport? And would we be missing out by not having a car to explore the area around Taormina?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello! I will be in Puglia this summer and will need to obtain a rapid covid test before I fly from Brindisi to France. I will have time to either get my covid test in Lecce or Brindisi and I'm trying to learn where they might offer rapid covid testing in either of these 2 cities (at the train station, airport, somewhere else) as well as the hours? I've been researching online and I'm only finding information for larger cities in Italy. Any information would be helpful!

For those who recently landed in Italy from Europe, in the airport did they ask for a green certificate or just the lab proof that you have performed the PCR test in the 48 hours before?

Thanks

Any recent travelers willing to share how long it took them to process through FCO Immigration/customs upon arrival. Estimated arrival is 7:30am and we are trying to determine if we can catch a train 10:20 Train from Rome Fiumicino Airport to La Spezia Centrale. Thanks for any insight.
