Descripción

Gallipoli, known as the "Pearl of the Ionian", is a destination that enchants with its double soul: on one side, Caribbean beaches and a lively nightlife; on the other, a historic center steeped in centuries of history and art. 


The charm of Gallipoli lies in its division: the old village, a jewel of limestone origin entirely fortified, stands on an island connected by a seventeenth-century bridge to the most modern new city. In the labyrinth of cobbled alleys of the old town, every corner reveals evidence of a thousand-year history, from Roman to Saracen, Byzantine and Aragonese domination. The imposing Angioino Castle, with its cylindrical towers and panoramic paths, tells of centuries of defense of this ancient commercial port. Do not miss the Rivellino, an isolated bastion that still houses catapults and cannons, connected to the castle by a working drawbridge. 

At the center of this ancient heart stands out the majestic Cathedral of Sant'Agata, a triumph of the Gallipoli baroque. Its facade in local stone is a masterpiece of niches, statues and friezes, while the interior with a Latin cross houses fine seventeenth-century paintings and a magnificent baroque choir. Hidden under the streets, the fascinating underground mills bear witness to the ancient commercial vocation of the city, once a major export center for olive oil. And for an authentic break, the fish market near the castle offers a glimpse into the daily lives of local fishermen. 


The beach paradise and nightlife

Gallipoli is synonymous with crystal clear sea and beautiful beaches. From the charming Purità Beach, the only one in the historic center and much loved by residents, stretch out long stretches of sand that promise relaxation and fun. To the south, the Lido San Giovanni and the famous Baia Verde are the epicenter of summer nightlife, with equipped beaches and lively evenings that attract visitors from all over. To the north, Rivabella and Lido Conchiglie offer stretches of sandy coast and low cliffs ideal for diving. 

For those looking for the wildest nature, the coast towards Punta della Suina and Punta Pizzo, part of the Regional Natural Park Isola di Sant'Andrea and Litorale di Punta Pizzo offers breathtaking beaches, sometimes called "the Caribbean of the Ionian", and fragrant pine forests where you can take relaxing walks. The Island of Sant'Andrea, with its lighthouse, is a nature reserve that offers unforgettable sunsets. 


Authentic flavors: the cuisine gallipolina

A holiday in Gallipoli would not be complete without a dip in the flavors of the sea cuisine of Salento. Do not miss the Scapece, a unique dish based on fried fish marinated in vinegar and saffron, an explosion of colors and scents. Equally famous is the Gallipolina fish soup, with cuttlefish, mussels and red prawns, to be enjoyed with homemade bread and a good local rosé wine. And for the most daring palates, the freshest raw sea is an unmissable experience. 


Gallipoli is a destination that satisfies every desire, a perfect mix of history, natural beauty and fun!
