Rita and Matteo, after days of exploration, flavors, and adventures in Sicily, are about to conclude their vacation. Their energy seems to be the same as when they arrived, but there’s a hint of nostalgia in their eyes.
Their experience in Sicily has deeply touched them, and now they call us for one last journey: the transfer to Catania Airport for their return flight.
Transfer to Catania Airport
We’re parked outside their hotel in Catania, with the Mercedes VITO gleaming under the morning sun. Marco, as always, greets them with his warm and professional smile.
“Good morning, guys! Ready for the last trip?” Marco asks, loading their bags into the vehicle.
Rita smiles with a touch of sadness. “Yes, though a bit reluctantly. This vacation has been perfect.”
Matteo, as he settles comfortably in the back seat, adds, “We didn’t want to leave without enjoying one last granita, but time flew by.”
Marco, with his usual good humor, replies, “We’ll bring you the granita next time you come! Maybe with an even more personalized tour among the island’s hidden treasures.”
The trip to the airport is filled with banter and reflections on the days they spent here. Rita and Matteo fondly recall the wine tastings on Mount Etna, the honey from Zafferana Etnea, and the breathtaking views in Taormina. The atmosphere is relaxed, but there’s a clear realization that this adventure is coming to an end.
Arrival at the Airport
After about thirty minutes of travel in our chauffeured car, Catania Airport appears in the distance. Mount Etna stands tall in the background, almost like a silent guardian bidding farewell to the departing travelers. Marco parks in the designated area and helps Rita and Matteo with their luggage.
“We’ve arrived. It was a pleasure accompanying you on this journey,” Marco says, handing over their luggage.
“Thank you so much, Marco. You made our stay in Sicily unforgettable,” says Rita, with sincere gratitude.
Matteo nods and shakes Marco’s hand. “We hope to see you again soon. We’ll definitely be back.”
With one last affectionate goodbye, Rita and Matteo head toward the departures area, leaving a piece of their hearts behind in Sicily.
Waiting for New Guests
Once Rita and Matteo have left, Marco faces a decision. Instead of immediately returning to headquarters in Taormina, he decides to wait at the airport to greet the next guests, who will arrive in two hours on a flight from London.
Marco checks the arrivals board. Flight BA2547 from London Heathrow will land on time. The next clients are a family of three: Jacob, a man in his forties, his partner Mary, and their eight-year-old daughter Elizabeth.
The Arrival of the English Family
As soon as the flight is marked as “Arrived” on the board, Marco heads to the exit, holding a sign with the name “Jacob Harrison” clearly displayed. He’s among the first to spot the family approaching, walking relaxed with only three small trolleys.
“Good morning! Welcome to Sicily!” Marco greets them with a smile, stepping forward to welcome them.
Jacob, with a friendly British accent, replies, “Thank you very much! It was a pleasant flight. Finally here!”
Mary smiles and shakes Marco’s hand. “We’re so happy to be here, we’ve been looking forward to it.”
Elizabeth, with curious and energetic eyes, looks around. “Is this the place with the big volcano?”
Marco smiles at the little girl. “Yes, that’s right! Mount Etna is right nearby. I’ll take you to your hotel in Taormina, and from there, you’ll have a great view of it.”
The family, cheerful and relaxed, follows Marco to the nearby Mercedes VITO. With their luggage loaded, the journey to Taormina begins.
The Transfer to Taormina Begins
As they leave the airport behind, Marco switches on the air conditioning and ensures everyone is comfortable. The road is peaceful, with the Sicilian landscape unfolding in all its splendor: vast citrus groves, green hills, and, of course, Mount Etna towering majestically on the horizon.
Mary, captivated, looks out the window. “This place is even more beautiful than I imagined. The nature is so wild.”
Jacob, eager to know more, asks, “Are there any particular activities you’d recommend for our first few days?”
Marco, always ready with suggestions, replies, “Definitely, Taormina is a great starting point. The Greek Theatre is a must-see, with a breathtaking view of Mount Etna and the sea. You can also visit Isola Bella and perhaps take a hike on Etna itself. It’s a unique experience.”
Elizabeth, who had been quiet up until that point, jumps up from her seat. “Can I see the volcano up close? Is it dangerous?”
Marco laughs. “Don’t worry, Elizabeth. It’s perfectly safe to visit Etna. And trust me, it will feel like you’re on another planet!”
As the conversation continues with laughter and questions, the landscape begins to change. They approach Taormina, with its winding roads and charming stone buildings. The view of the Ionian Sea becomes more and more spectacular, prompting exclamations of wonder from the guests.
“How beautiful!” exclaims Mary, snapping a few photos from the window. “I never imagined a view like this.”
Jacob adds, “We’re already in love with this place. We can’t wait to explore it.”
Arrival at the Hotel
After about an hour of travel, the Mercedes VITO pulls up in front of the luxurious hotel where the family will be staying. Marco helps unload the luggage and, with his usual courtesy, ensures everything is in order for their stay.
“Thank you so much, Marco. You’ve been fantastic,” says Jacob, shaking the driver’s hand.
Mary nods, adding, “We’re truly grateful for your help. We can’t wait to start our vacation.”
Marco smiles. “It was a pleasure to accompany you. If you need anything during your stay, don’t hesitate to contact me. I wish you a wonderful holiday in Taormina!”
As Marco drives away, leaving the family to enjoy their stay, he reflects on the endless cycle of travelers he meets every day. Each with a different story, each ready to discover the magic of Sicily. And thanks to our chauffeured car service, every journey becomes a unique and unforgettable experience.
