Lungomare Galilei

The Galilei promenade in Gallipoli stretches from via della Cala, which leads north to the island of the old town, to the coastal road where dunes or a low cliff begin again.\n\nThis long thoroughfare, bordered by the Ionian waters, divided into two traffic lanes and a pedestrian zone, is the quintessential promenade for locals and tourists alike, a meeting and gathering place thanks to the numerous cafes, bars and businesses that line up side by side, especially in summer attracting the city's nightlife.\n\nAt the southern end of the road stands a lookout tower, while several semicircular recesses, stone benches and a long low wall offer views of the sea and the historic center, at whose end stands the Sant'Andrea lighthouse.
