Overview

This tour will take you to discover the lovely Salento towns of Gallipoli and Galatina starting from Lecce and crossing the peninsula among typical villages and vineyards, also stopping, as an optional choice, in one of the most important Salento wineries for a tasting experience. There will be no shortage of halts along the Ionian coast for fully enjoying the breathtaking views that will await you. The journey will go on heading to a wonderful beach where you can swim before the visit among narrow alleys, shops and sea views of which Gallipoli will surprise you.
In the case you’ll choose not to attend the wine tasting, or depending on the cellar unavailability, like on Sundays, we'll spend more time in the place you'll prefer or we’ll stop in Nardò to visit its nice historic center.

Centro storico di Galatina

Transfer from Lecce to Galatina 30 minutes. We’ll stop close to the main square where you can have your independent visit to the Baroque church of “San Pietro”. Nearby, the small chapel of “San Paolo” hosts a well that, according to tradition, was able to heal people bitten by poisonous tarantula spider. That's why the town is renowned for the magic and esoteric ceremonies of "Tarantismo", from which the local folk dance “Pizzica” started. Galatina is also well known for the delicious pastries produced for generations in the local pasticcerie. In the most famous one you can delight yourself by tasting the famous "Pasticciotto”.
