Gallipoli
A historic town on the western coast of Salento in Apulia, Gallipoli is built around a limestone island connected to the newer mainland district by a 17th-century stone bridge. The old island centre, compact and walkable, holds a concentration of historic churches and a food-and-drink scene dense enough to reward an evening's exploration. The town has been a bishopric since the 6th century and is one of the few places where the Greek dialect Griko is still spoken.
