Neighborhood highlights

The HISTORIC CENTER
The historic center of Gallipoli is a small peninsula, a real jewel to discover inhabited by welcoming and hospitable people.
Just below the house are some of the best seafood restaurants, as well as casual trattorias.
In the labyrinth of small streets you can discover majestic palaces and splendid baroque churches. There are certainly small souvenir and food stores of all kinds, while if you want to buy exquisite fresh fish you can go early in the morning to the fish market right in the heart of the historic center, or directly to the port when the fishing boats return from fishing trips. Do not miss fruits and vegetables with their unique colors and flavors typical of this land.

The colder months are the perfect time to explore the ancient charm of Gallipoli.
Particularly fascinating are the Christmas period with a wonderful pyrotechnic New Year right in the historic center, to see! During the Easter period also suggestive and evocative processions wind through the narrow alleys of the center.

From the old town you can choose any type of beach to enjoy the incomparable sea of Salento. A few meters from the house you will find the beach of Purità, always the beach of the gallipolini; not equipped but unique as it is suggestive.
By bike, scooter or car you can move from the historic center to reach the fantastic sandy beaches of Gallipoli. The south coast towards Lido San Giovanni/Baia Verde is characterized by the continuous alternation of beaches with white sand and Caribbean sea to enjoy an unforgettable day of sun, sea and relaxation.
For those who want to know also other enchanting places we recommend the fantastic beaches of Punta Prosciutto and Torre Lapillo, near Porto Cesareo (then going up the coast towards the North) or, towards the South the famous Maldives of Salento but even more, in the Torre San Giovanni area (Marina di Ugento) the sea and the beach of Lido Maibù.
