Where to Park at Baia Verde and Gallipoli
The real problem for those who come to Gallipoli in August. Here's where to leave your car, how much it costs and how to avoid stress.
Those who come to Gallipoli for the first time underestimate the parking problem. Baia Verde is a coastal strip with only one main artery, Via Gran Viale al Mare, which gets clogged from 5pm in July and August. If you don't know where to go, you can wander around for 40 minutes before finding a place.
The main parking areas
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
Booking directly with Gallipolitravel receive the ZTL pass in advance, if your accommodation does not have private parking. It will be used only and exclusively in those cases. Transit is allowed on the following streets: Via delle Dune, Via Gran Viale al Mare, Via della Chiesa and Exit SS274.
Seasonal paid parking
In the summer months (typically JuneโSeptember) private seasonal car parks are activated in the areas close to the beach. Prices vary every year.
Typically the hourly rate ranges from โฌ1.50 to โฌ2.00, with weekly subscriptions being more affordable. There may be variations following decisions by the Municipality. They almost always only accept cash.
Apartments with parking space: avoid the problem
The simplest solution is to choose an apartment that includes a parking space. Among ours:

Parking FAQs
In the peaks of August the traffic is intense, but not impossible. The key is knowing where to look or, better yet, having a reserved parking space. By booking your apartment with Gallipolitravel, most of our solutions already include a private parking space: so you arrive and enjoy your holiday without wasting time going around in circles.
If you book one of our facilities with ZTL access, we will provide you in advance with the official pass that authorizes you to transit. It is an exclusive advantage for our guests: it allows you to access the reserved areas in total tranquility, avoiding the high fines that unfortunately affect many unaware tourists.
Many seasonal parking meters at Baia Verde are dated and often only accept cash. We strongly recommend that you always have coins or small denominations with you. Also for this reason, having a private parking space included in your apartment is the most convenient and smart choice to not depend on parking meters.
The stadium car park is an excellent solution for those who want to travel by shuttle, but keep in mind that it is very busy in high season. If you prefer not to move the car for the entire holiday, the 'Apartment with parking space + municipal shuttle' combination is undoubtedly the most relaxing mix to experience Gallipoli.
In the marine areas the roads are complex, which is why the best choice is to opt directly for our apartments in Baia Verde equipped with a reserved parking space or ZTL pass.
