Getting around
Arriving
Gallipoli. FSE trains and buses from Lecce (about an hour); the station is in the modern town, a 15 minute walk from the bridge to the old island.
Tickets · FSE
The old town is an island you circle on foot in half an hour; the beach lidos stretch south along the road
FSE channels and bars.
Validate when boarding.
On foot
- ·The seafront ring around the island, the fish market by the bridge and the baroque cathedral inside make one continuous loop
Taxis and driving
- ·Summer parking near the bridge is scarce; the southern beach lidos are a car or seasonal shuttle matter
Official sites: FSE (Ferrovie del Sud Est)
