Punta della Suina is one of the most beautiful and famous beaches of Salento a few kilometers away from Gallipoli. It offers a breathtaking view of the sea and the beach is made up of fine golden sand, surrounded by a pine forest that offers shade and coolness. It is an unmissable destination for those who want to fully experience the magic of Salento.

The Greco Roman Fountain of Gallipoli is considered the oldest fountain in Italy. There are doubts about its origins, if dating back to the III BC. or in the Renaissance age. Today it is at the Ponte Antico and very ruined. 5 m high, the coats of arms of Gallipoli, Charles III Bourbon and Philip II are represented on it. There are three mythological scenes, the metamorphoses in sources of Dirce, Salmace and Biblide.
