Reggio Calabria Airport (REG) to the city and the port
A single on the ATAM bus is 1.50 EUR, and lines 27 and 28 run into the centre every 30 minutes.
- A single is 1.50 EUR, sold at ATAM's authorised outlets, tabaccherie, bars and newsstands, which ATAM lists on its site.
- Lines 27 and 28 run to the city centre every 30 minutes, and are the standard way in.
- Lines 27 and 28 both reach Piazza Garibaldi, by Reggio Calabria Centrale station, in about 15 minutes from the airport.
- Weekday buses leave the airport from about 06:30 in summer and 06:45 in winter, with the last at about 20:15 in summer and 21:50 in winter.
- A direct Porto to Aeroporto line also operates, with weekday and holiday timetables published by ATAM.
- The dedicated Messina connections were suspended on 18 June 2018. ATAM still lists them, marked as suspended.
- Do not plan a Messina connection around them. Cross the strait on the ordinary ferries instead.
- The airport is called the Aeroporto dello Stretto, the Airport of the Strait, because Sicily is across the water.
What the bus costs
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| Single, ATAM city bus | 1.50 EUR |
- A euro and a half is a city fare, not an airport fare, and it applies on the lines into the centre and on the port link.
- Buy at an ATAM outlet, a tabaccheria, bar or newsstand, which ATAM lists on its site. Whether drivers sell tickets, and at what price, is not published.
Into Reggio
- Lines 27 and 28, every 30 minutes, from the airport to the city centre.
- Lines 27 and 28 both reach Piazza Garibaldi, by Reggio Calabria Centrale railway station, in about 15 minutes.
- Weekday departures run from about 06:30 in summer and 06:45 in winter, with the last at about 20:15 in summer and 21:50 in winter.
- A direct Porto to Aeroporto line links the airport with the port, where the Messina ferries and hydrofoils go from. ATAM publishes weekday and holiday timetables for it.
The Messina service that is not running
- ATAM's page for the Messina links is headed as suspended from 18 June 2018.
- Two services were offered: a Caronte ferry plus a Gran Turismo coach from Piazzale Cavallotti in Messina, and a hydrofoil plus shuttle from the port of Reggio Calabria.
- Both were timed to particular flights, and both stopped in June 2018.
- The pages are still online, which is exactly how out of date planning happens. Treat them as history.
Crossing to Sicily anyway
- The port of Reggio Calabria has hydrofoils to Messina, and Villa San Giovanni up the coast has the car ferries.
- The direct Porto to Aeroporto bus gets you to the first of those, and the crossing is then an ordinary ticket.
