Explore Gallipoli’s island old town
Gallipoli, Italy
Gallipoli’s historic centre occupies an island linked to the newer town by a bridge. Cross into the old streets and make your way between the castle, the Cathedral of Sant’Agata and the church of Santa Maria della Purità, leaving time for the sea-facing edges of the town. It offers a rewarding contrast to the beach-focused coastline outside. Visit individual interiors according to their opening arrangements, then stay for dinner or an evening walk beside the water.
