Unfortunately, due to Covid and restrictions, it will be more complicated this summer to be able to come to the beautiful country.

The real problems that arise in the movements between the UK and Italy are not related to the actions of our government, but those adopted by Prime Minister Boris Johnson. But let’s see why.

These measures make movements outside Great Britain difficult. In fact, especially the employees, they can afford no more than 10 days off in the summer vacation. This forces Sicilians and Italians abroad to return only for a few days. but not only costs of the holidays rise significantly. Between tampons to arrive in Italy and those made in the UK, costs can exceed in some cases تتجاوز 300/400 euros in total.
