★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful old fort, located in the heart of the old town. The fort is simple but you certainly sense the history when you walk the space. Staff at the boutique and where they sell tickets were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful!
They had an art expo when we visited showcasing the history of oil lamps, and the use of olive oil transported via the ports of Gallipoli and how that helped grow this city’s economy, including old lamp and lighting from Dublin to Spain. In addition, certain rooms showed the history of soap factories that formed by taking advantage of the left over raw materials of the olive oil trade. A lot of history on a small exhibit but nicely told.
Bathroom located about 50 feet away between a few cafes and small shops.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You must spend some hours walking in the old Gallipoli's narrow streets enjoying the views, the buildings and the churches. Amazing.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Guardian of the port in ancient times, the castle is on an island connecting the historic old town with modern Gallipoli. The restored castle today is full of retail shops and social gathering places, although a self tour allows insight into its historic function. Fishing boats that work the Gulf of Tarento tie up to the marina below the castle, where fishermen can be seen repairing their nets. Outdoor restaurants nearby serve great seafood, and the island's historic homes, churches and narrow streets make this town a charming destination.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really enjoyed the lamp exhibition that was on giving the history of the local olive oil to power lamps. The castle was also good to explore and gives wonderful views of the harbour and surrounding area.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place to visit. Can have a walk into old town, located on an island. Mainly walk is arround it, there are cafes and restourants. Old buildings, nice beach available at the one place. Not much traffic on road, but must watch out of it. Places where to buy suvenirs. Must go in late afternoon better because of local siesta time...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The castle is located in the Old port of Gallipoli. It's in a amazing position just into the sea. The old town of Gallipoli is simply amazing. If you like you can visit it and have an immersion in ancient centuries. I definitely recommend a shot.
