Captain's Marsh

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Palude del Capitano is a protected natural area located in the Porto Selvaggio Park, in Salento. It is a spunnulata, or rather a collapsed sinkhole that houses a body of brackish water fed by underground springs and the sea. The swamp is not clearly visible from the provincial road, and to enter the protected area you travel along paths that are not very easy for racing bikes.

Suggestive stretch of road that crosses the Porto Selvaggio Natural Park, a protected natural area of Salento characterized by a rocky and jagged coast and rich typically Mediterranean vegetation. To explore the inside of the park there are mainly paths, but there are also stretches of gravel and well-beaten roads that can also be traveled carefully by racing bikes.

Gallipoli

Highlight • Settlement

Gallipoli is a city in the province of Lecce overlooking the Ionian Sea. Its name means "beautiful city" in Greek and is divided into two parts: the historic center, which stands on a fortified island full of monuments and churches, and the new village, which extends over the mainland. It is famous for its white sand beaches and crystal clear water, but it is also a city of culture, tradition and history.

Purity Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Seno della Purità is the beach in the historic center of Gallipoli near the cathedral of Sant'Agata, made up of fine golden sand and a transparent blue sea. The name derives from a legend that tells of the discovery of the breast of the Virgin Sant'Agata right in this place. If you pass by in the evening, stop and admire the panorama illuminated by the lights of the castle and the port.
