Getting there from the airport.

From the airport. Taxi gets you to sissa or your hotel directly; quite
expensive, about 50-60 €. 
The most convenient way to get to the downtown is through the ACT bus
number 51 (stop on your right when you exit from the airport), ticket
is about 3 €. It leaves every 30 minutes and leaves you at the end of
the line, which is the central train and bus station. A map is attached
showing how to walk from there to the 38 Bus Stop which brings you to SISSA.
The ticket is separate, and it costs 1.1 €. You can get it at the central
station where the bus leaves you.
