What to see in Gallipoli, the pearl of the Ionian Sea

Lively, genuine, colourful. The city of long sandy beaches, with a historic centre rising straight out of the sea — the heart of Salento’s nightlife, music and fun. A holiday in Gallipoli is an experience of a thousand emotions: everything you could wish for from your trip to Puglia.

The beaches: if you love sunbathing on long sandy shores with well-equipped lidos where you can lunch by the water, Gallipoli is for you. There are 3 km of golden sand and emerald waters, perfect for families with children too.

The old town: a maze of alleys that weave together and always lead to the sea. An unmissable destination to discover the most authentic Salento, meet fishermen still weaving their pots, browse local crafts and taste traditional Salento dishes.
