Short trip to Gallipoli full of the sea, nightlife and authentic flavours

After admiring the Angevin Aragonese Castle overlooking the sea in the port area, visit the Cathedral of Sant’Agata and be enchanted by its Baroque style which is distinctive of other churches and palaces in the historic center of Gallipoli. The beaches will enchant you and you will spend most of your time there - except when you are enjoying the freshest fish dishes! - but if you want to entertain yourself according to the local tradition even at sunset, attend a show of taranta, the typical Salento dance.
