Whoever planned a trip to Sicily in May will have to postpone it. The head of regional government Nello Musumeci announced that the island would be closed in May. He hopes that the COVID-19 incidence rate will drop to zero there as a result of the isolation.

He assured that the situation was monitored and that as soon as it improved, residents would be happy to welcome tourists.

There is hope for a vacation?

Nello Musumeci pointed out that there are 12 coronavirus patients on the island who are in intensive care units, and at the same time the number of cured patients is growing all the time. They also include patients transferred to Sicily from overcrowded hospitals in Lombardy.

The chairman pointed out that one infected person could infect a hundred more when moving around Sicily. He meant the very numerous arrivals of Italians from the north of the country, noted at the beginning of the exacerbation of the epidemiological situation. After that, a high infection rate was found on the island. - Today we can say that we are one of the safest regions in Italy - said Nello Mesumeci.

It will not be an airtight seal. When the epidemic situation allows, the island will gradually open. We have to renew contacts with the world, but with caution - assured the governor.

Vacation on the Etruscan Coast

There are many places in Tuscany that are perfect for a holiday. Depending on what we expect, we can enjoy the amenities of a noisy seaside resort or soak up the atmosphere of small towns with narrow streets with all our senses. If we choose the Etruscan Coast, we will have a rest surrounded by a pine forest, relaxing on a sandy beach, many attractions in the water park and the taste of delicious wine. In the heart of the Etruscan Coast, on a hill visible from a distance, lies Castagneto Carducci , a typical tourist destination with almost as many holidaymakers as inhabitants during the summer season. Many of them occupy the coastal district - Marina di Castagneto Carducci . The local beach has the Blue Flag status, it is sandy and wide, but most of its sections are paid. If someone would like to sunbathe economically and without crowds, he should wander a little further, outside the center. On the outskirts, the beaches are not developed, but intimate. Natural dunes stretch by them, the air smells like pine trees and you can hear cicadas. People who are relaxed about life can walk a few hundred meters further north (towards Marina di Bibbona). There they will find an unofficial naturist beach - a guarantee that they will bring an equal tan from their holidays in Italy .

14 of the best campgrounds in Tuscany and Umbria

From my observations, you either love Tuscany or you hate it. The latter may be due to the fact that a holiday in Tuscany for a camper driver can often be very stressful. Narrow, winding streets without a shoulder, where it is often difficult to pass each other, as well as narrow parking lots are standard in this part of Italy.
