Fortunately, Santa Flavia has several beaches (see below) - and a Shuttle Service that will take you there free of charge.

Yes - free of charge!

Santa Flavia - City with connections

The Sicilian town of Santa Flavia is the perfect location for car-free holidays in Sicily.

The train station is in the middle of the town and some particularly beautiful holiday lettings are just a few hundred metres away.

In addition, the Santa Flavia Shuttle connects the train station, the urban centres with other holiday lettings and the beaches free of charge.

You can recognise the busses by the logo of the town (Comune di Santa Flavia) and that of the operator (La Costa d'Oro).

In the following sections you will find information on the timetable and the stops. Our overview map on Google Maps provides you with an initial overview:
