I will share with you my extensive experience as tourist a guide to show you this amazing land. The "Greek beautiful colony" of Gallipoli with its fishing port, the old town protected by the ancient walls and castle, the lavish baroque cathedral, the small jewel of Chiesa della Purità with a Luca Giordano's painting, an underground olive oil mill entirely carved in the stone and dating back to the 17th century when lamp olive oil was produced and exported throughout Europe. Nardò and its Piazza Salandra (one of the most beautiful Baroque square in Italy), the charming historic city center, the cathedral and San Domenico church. Last but not least Galatina (called the Assisi of Puglia) with the elegante baroque palaces, the Basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria (a beautiful example of Gothic architecture in Salento) with its astonishing frescos. Galatina is also a symbol of tarantism and pizzica (a traditional dance) and of the delicious Pasticciotto (it has been invented by Ascalone's pastry shop).
Usually the itinerary is as follow: - Galatina and its stunning basilica and the baroque city center; - old town of Gallipoli; - Nardò and its baroque architecture. There are several tasty options: a visit (winery, olive oil bar, dairy) with tasting (wine, extra-virgin olive oil, cheese), a fish restaurant by the sea or the unique culinary experience of a menu made with fish charcuterie "created" by the young and passionate chef of a small family run restaurant in the surroundings of Gallipoli. It's also possible to modify the tour with: - a swim or a boat trip to enjoy the Ionian coast and its wide sandy beaches (i. e. Lido Pizzo, Punta della Suina, Punta Prosciutto, S. Isidoro); - the Museum of Memory and Welcome of S. Maria del Bagno with the memories of thousand of Jews hosted, from 1943 to 1947, in this post WW2 transit camp for displaced person . - the eclectic liberty style villas of Le Cenate; - hiking or a stop to enjoy the breathtaking seaviews from the cliffs of the Natural Park of Porto Selvaggi
