 Tradition, poetry and vitality have come together to make of
Gallipoli what it is today. Its traditions can be seen in
the architecture and frescos of its churches, in the narrow
streets and ancient buildings of the old town and in its age
old religious celebrations. Its poetry lies in the
breathtaking beauty of the Ionian Sea which pervades every
aspect of the town’s life, in the enchantment of its beaches
and in the Pindaric flight of its seagulls. The vitality of
its people is expressed in their proud straightforward
manner, in the calls of vendors at the open air fish market
and in the myriad of colours and sounds of the carnival
parade. In Gallipoli you will experience smells and tastes
that have almost ceased to exist elsewhere, you will be
steeped in an atmosphere where echoes of the town’s past
fuse with and almost dominate its bustling present life. The
harmony of its sea and uncontaminated coastline will
inebriate you. |

For your Entertainment
If you are looking for
suggestive old streets and markets full of the smells,
colours and sounds typical of the Mediterranean, or you
dream of long stretches of idyllic sandy beaches steeped in
the warm amber light of the afternoon sun, alternating with
rugged rocky beaches washed by the crystal clear waters of
an unpolluted sea, then Gallipoli is the place for you.
Finally, if at the end of a day spent playing water sports,
sightseeing or simply relaxing on the beach, you want to
dance the night away or enjoy some good wine and song, you
will find that the wide range of bars, restaurants, discos
and events on the beaches in and around Gallipoli can cater
for all tastes and age groups without ever tainting the area’
s authentic nature. Today the ancient Greek name for
Gallipoli “kalè polis” or “beautiful town” is more
appropriate than ever. Available on request: Half day motor
