Overview

Gallipoli was the starting point of the Salento’s big commerce of oil. Frome there, the oil was ferried all around Europe, than was used to light up cities and houses. So the city and their surroundings were rich, and traces of this prosperity are still there.

We will cycle towards Sannicola, in the hinterlands: here we will visit an ancient underground oil mill of XVII century. Crossing the landscape, between vineyards and dry-stone walls, we will see the historical centre of Galatone. Than back to the see, to enjoy the wild nature of Porto Selvaggio: here we will walk in the pinewood before to have a swim and a nice picnic.

We will go back to Gallipoli riding along the coast.

Absolut traumhafte Tour. Empfehlenswert zu 1000% . Alles wurde perfekt organisiert und der Support als ein Bike kaputt ging war schnell und speditiv. Das BICI Salento Team ist jung, super freundlich und einfach fantastisch. Es war für uns 4 Frauen eine geniale Woche. Vergnügen a la Wahnsinn!!

Giornata indimenticabile con un gruppo di amici per il mio addio al celibato. Volevamo fare qualche attività piuttosto che il solito relax al mare e non potevamo avere un'idea migliore. Il tour è molto facile, tutto pianeggiante e per la maggior parte del tempo si sviluppa su strade quasi deserte...
