Gallipoli walk: where art meets beauty

Gallipoli, the "beautiful city", also known as the pearl of the Ionian Sea, is framed by crystal-clear waters and golden beaches. Accessed via a bridge from the mainland, symbolising its connection to the sea, Gallipoli is a wonderful town just waiting to be discovered. Visit it with an expert guide and admire the sculptures of Biblide, Dirce and Salmace at the entrance to the old town, carved into the Greek fountain, the oldest in Italy. Stroll around the walls, ramparts and towers that once protected the city from invaders, then venture through the narrow streets, past the limewashed houses and flower-filled courtyards. Head down to the seafront to end your visit with an aperitivo of typical Apulian products. Your eyes are sure to be drawn to the lighthouse that dominates the town, located at the meeting of two seas. On this journey of discovery, wonders await around every corner.
