Gallipoli, the “beautiful city”, is definitely one of the most interesting areas around Salento in terms of nature. In fact, this area is composed of a marsh that hosts migratory birds, a pine grove and a section of scrubland where Pugliese Heather and some Orchid species grow. Seen from the sea Gallipoli has a rather oriental appearance. It is white and similar to a town in the Cyclades. Over time it has become one of the most fashionable destinations along the coast of Puglia. In addition to the city's cultural charm, there is natural beauty along the low coastline with long, white and fine sandy beaches that are used mainly by families and lovers of beach volleyball, windsurfing and kayaking. Gallipoli Bay is enclosed to the south by Pizzo Point, a splendid sandy beach characterised by crystal clear sea and interesting flora, with a pine grove that arrives right onto the beach.Among the main activities available, we recommend the diving courses organised by the Diving Centres in Gallipoli that offer various proposals, through a series of games and fun, to enable you to dive along the seabed around San Andrea Island, which features large blocks of rock and wide channels dug by sea erosion.
