Gallipoli is a pleasant small town near Lecce, in Apulia, south of Italy. It has always attracted tourists and visitors from all over the world. In fact its name is of Greek origin and means "beautiful town" and many people call it "Ionian pearl". The old town is an island linked to the new town by means of a 17th-century bridge. It is an authentic old town which hasn't been renovated yet. Here you can smell the sea as well as the flowers on the windowsills and the fragrances of Gallipoli cooking. The winding streets are full of the voices and the sounds of every-day life which still flows slowly according to Mediterranean paces. You can find astonishing surprises everywhere: a shrine, a hidden portal, an unsuspected small window, a small church...
