Gallipoli Old Town and Harbor

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic center of Gallipoli is certainly one of a kind: the fortified citadel in fact stands on a limestone islet connected to the mainland by a masonry bridge dating back to the 17th century. Walking through the narrow alleys of the old city at sunset is a truly unmissable experience. As unmissable is the flavor of the "puccia" from Salento, a sandwich with a dough similar to pizza whose fillings vary from octopus to burrata and which can be eaten here in various "puccerie".

Purity Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Seno della Purità is the beach in the historic center of Gallipoli near the cathedral of Sant'Agata, made up of fine golden sand and a transparent blue sea. The name derives from a legend that tells of the discovery of the breast of the Virgin Sant'Agata right in this place. If you pass by in the evening, stop and admire the panorama illuminated by the lights of the castle and the port.

Inserted in the Salento Fortificazioni collection komoot.it/collection/1396951/-salento-fortificazioni - Almost completely surrounded by the sea, it stands with its imposing mass at the eastern end of the island which houses the ancient village. Built, most likely, as early as the 11th century on pre-existing Roman fortifications, it was rebuilt in the 13th century in the Byzantine era. It was remodeled several times by successive conquerors over the centuries [source: it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castello_di_Gallipoli]

Santa Caterina Coastal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

I rode the cycle/pedestrian path that runs through Santa Caterina: a real pleasure to pedal on quiet roads, with suggestive views and a relaxing atmosphere. A perfect stretch to enjoy the bike in total serenity, immersed in the charm of the place.
