Frantoio Ipogeo di Palazzo Granafei

They extend underground for about 200 square meters, Below the buildings D'Acugna and fats, which face onto Via Antonietta De Pace. Our Gallipoli are the property of the Association Gallipoli Nostra, which in 1988 had them fully restored and opened to the public use. Inside were reconstructed models of the eighteenth century, some presses Calabrese (two large screws). Originals are, however, the press Genovese (a single screw) and a few presses of the nineteenth century. The visit is particularly challenging with the help of expert guides, who make known to the visitor the techniques and phases of olive oil, thus reliving significant moments in history and local culture, as well as in times when for food oil was marketed primarily for industrial uses (in the carding of wool - especially so required by Paesidel Northern Europe, Sweden and England in the head) and for public and private lighting.

Centro Storico di Gallipoli

Reviewed By Bandit-One - Lucerne, Switzerland

We stayed in the south for a few nights. Only 30' aways was Gallipoli, so we thought we should check this old town out. And what a great visit it turned out to be. Parked our car not far from the old town and crossed the bridge leading to the Centro Storico. The impressive Castello welcomes you when you enter this amazing historic town. Take the Via Antoniette de Pace or the smaller Via XXIV Maggio and head to the impressive Duomo, the Basilica Concattedrale di Sant'Agata Vergine e Martire. The streets and lanes are quite narrow, so you have to step back a bit to appreciate the beauty of the Duomo. Countless shops and restaurants can be found. It's sure worth to get lost a bit in this maze - especially when you head a bit to the western part of the old town. That's where many locals have their homes. Less tourists, but just fun to wander the small streets. Also nice to walk around this peninsula. Amazing ocean views with the bluest and greenest water you could think of. Some good restaurants with ocean views (try the Trattoria Scoglio delle Sirene). Besides the big sights, the whole old town itself is a sight of its own. We loved it. Fantastic town, sure well worth a (longer) drive.

Castello di Gallipoli

The castle, stronghold of the town of Gallipoli, is completely surrounded by the sea. It is located on the eastern part of the “nice town” and it can be already seen at the entrance of the peninsula which surrounds the old part of the town, at the entrance of the seventeenth century bridge, in the past a lift bridge, which connects the isthmus to the mainland. The stronghold used to be probably separated by the surrounding land. The castle, completely surrounded by the sea, has nowadays a quadrangular shape with four towers on each corner and a fifth one, called “Rivellino”, separated from the perimeter and alone in the water. Gallipoli Castle has recently become a popular location which is open and working all year round.

Enter the gate and admire the impressionant insides of this ancient fortress. There are different exhibitionist during the season, each of them worth your attention. Take your time and go to the roof level. Not fitted for little children (highest level is quite dangerous)

This beach is amazing with white sand and blue sea to rival any Caribbean beach. The sea was so warm too. The restaurant is amazing too with food that is so delicious especially if you like fish and seafood. Had the best octopus I have had anywhere in the world, so tender and tasty. Staff all really nice. Will be back when next in Gallipoli !!

Lido Punta della Suina

Reviewed By socridielu

The beach and the sea are amazing!!! You can find sand and rocks, a really beautiful blue sea. There is a wide and cheap car park, a beautiful pinewood where you can have a pic nic in the shadow. The landscape is stunning.
