Frequently asked questions about Gallipoli

Gallipoli is worth a visit at any time of the year. For the sea and the vibrant nightlife, the high season runs from 20 June to 31 August: Baia Verde is at its peak. For those who want to enjoy Salento in peace, April, May and the second half of September offer warm seas and lower prices. From October to March, prices are the best of the year: ideal for discovering local traditions, Christmas markets and an authentic Gallipoli. Gallipolitravel is open all year round, contact us for a quote based on your dates.
It depends on what you are looking for. Baia Verde is the right choice for those who want the most famous beach clubs, nightlife and La Praja nightclub within walking distance. Lido San Giovanni is perfect for families with children, thanks to the shallow waters of Piccolo Lido and a quieter atmosphere. Our local guides will help you choose.
In none of our areas do you need a car for daily life. In Baia Verde, beaches, beach clubs and nightclubs are all within walking distance: no parking, no evening stress. In Lido San Giovanni, you have everything within 250 metres: beach, restaurants, pizzerias, bars, petrol station, hairdresser, laundry and the supermarket. For young people, Parco Gondar is also within walking distance. Those who book in the city centre, however, often find themselves far from the sea, dependent on a car and struggling with Gallipoli's summer traffic. Gallipolitravel also offers a private shuttle service from the airport and station so you can arrive without a care.
