Sicily . . . yet again

The airline just changed my flight from Catania to Bologna. I was planning to return the rental car in Catania, stay the night and take the bus early in the morning to the airport. Now I will have plenty of time to return a car at the airport before my flight.

Does anyone have suggestions for where to stay outside of Catania to have easy access to the airport on a weekday morning? I don't plan to spend any time in that city.

I'll be in Syracuse (Ortigia) for 5 nights. Does anyone have a favorite restaurant? Other food recommendations?

Just stay in Siracusa a bit longer that morning. You are close enough to the airport. Fontanarossa is to the south of Catania in the direction of Siracusa. You'll be at the airport from Siracusa in 45-50 min.

Thanks, Roberto. That sounds a lot better than changing hotels. If I leave Ortigia around 7.30 or 8 a.m. will there be much traffic? I'd like to return the car by about 9 a.m.
