Hi everyone, we have a trip planned to eastern Sicily in late February. The island just got hit badly by Cyclone Harry. I'm wondering if going there will still be a good idea if we avoid the coastal areas. I've seen a lot of damage online and it looks awful, but it does appear to be mostly on the coast. Going in February, this is obviously not a beach trip.
It'd be great to hear from anyone who is there now or who has lived there in the past to get a sense of how fast recovery efforts can be there. We got hit with two bad hurricanes in Florida in 2024, but some of our beach areas (not all) were OK to visit after a month. Plus, I know that visitors can help put money into the economy so long as they don't interfere with cleanup.
Thank you,
Vanessa
