About Gallipoli
Gallipoli's old town sits on an island in the Ionian Sea, so the water is not a backdrop here — it is the way you see the city, its harbour and the Salento coastline. A good starting point is the Gallipoli: Coastal Boat Tour with Swim Stops & Aperitif, which pairs swimming stops with an aperitif on board, while the Gallipoli: Private Eco-Sailing Tour with Environmental Guide suits anyone who wants a quieter sail with a guide explaining the marine environment. Both leave from a port where fishing boats and sailing yachts share the same waterfront.

Frequently asked questions
Gallipoli's historic centre is an island, and much of the coast nearby — Baia Verde, Punta Pizzo, Porto Selvaggio — is only really seen from the sea. Cruises and sailing tours let you swim off the boat, anchor in coves and watch the old town and its harbour from the water, which is how locals have always used this coastline.
