Overview

This tour will take you to discover the Salento west coast with Gallipoli town starting from Lecce and crossing the peninsula among typical villages and vineyards also stopping, as optional choice, in one of the most important Salento winery for a tasting experience. There will be no shortage of halts along the coast for fully enjoying the breathtaking views that will show you up. The journey will go on heading to a wonderful beach where you could swim and have refreshment before your independent tour among narrow alleys, shops and sea views of which Gallipoli will surprise you.
In the case the wine tasting won't be done, like on Sunday days or depending on the cellar availability, we'll stop in Galatina for visiting its fascinating late Romanesque church of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria, built in 1390, full covered with stunning frescoes by workers from Giotto school.
