GALLIPOLI private tour: The pearl of the Ionian Sea
Discover the main attractions of the fortified city of Gallipoli, located at the tip of the Salento Peninsula, and visit one of Apulia’s key destinations. Begin your tour with an external visit of the impressive Angioino-Aragonese Castle, built by the Byzantines and long the guardian of the port. Continue to the Cathedral of Saint Agata, a Baroque masterpiece dedicated to the saint martyred in Catania, whose relics are kept in Gallipoli. Admire its richly decorated interiors. Stroll through the charming streets of the old town, a maze of picturesque alleys and traditional houses, until you reach the coast and breathe in the authentic sea atmosphere. Then head to the evocative Old Port, the heart of the city’s maritime tradition, where fishing boats gently sway. Cross the characteristic Seventeenth-century Bridge, linking the old town to the new city, and end your tour at the Greek Fountain, one of the oldest in Italy, decorated with four caryatids.
