At this point in our lives, we travel to experience life in new towns and places. We want to live, shop and interact with the people on more than just a tourist level. Our decision to stay in Gallipoli proved to be much more than we could have expected. This town was so welcoming on every level. Having a wonderful apartment right in the heart of the Centro Storico was exactly what we wanted. We were able to establish life routines with ease. Shop owners remembered us and always greeted us.
We had our fish men, our shop for morning cappucino and the most wonderful vegetable man who parked in our neighborhood everyday. Our apartment was clean, comfortable and spacious.The last thing I must mention was Serena. She made sure that we were properly welcomed to Gallipoli. She walked us through the town and pointed out people and places. All this was done with her handy little phone with English/Italian translation abilities. She was visible when we needed assistance and knew when to step back. A totally gracious, hard-working woman. We would certainly consider returning to Gallipoli and Andrea and Jenny's apartment.
