		+	| summary= The ancient town of Gallipoli lies on the E side of the Golfo di Taranto, 55 miles SE of [[Taranto]] and 16 miles NW of [[Santa Maria de Leuca]], the ‘gateway to the Adriatic’, at the extreme tip of the ‘heel’ of the Italian peninsula. Formerly an important port for the shipment of wine and olive oil, Gallipoli is now largely dependent on tourism and fishing for its prosperity. Visiting yachts have several options for mooring in the town, the [[#Porto Mercantile|Porto Mercantile]], [[#Darsena Fontanelle|Darsena Fontanelle]] and  [[#Porto Gaio|Porto Gaio]] on the N side of the peninsula and the [[#Seno del Canneto|Seno del Canneto]] on the S side.

The buildings of the old town and a tall skyscraper in the new town are conspicuous from some distance off. Closer in, the low-lying island of Isola Sant’Andrea and its white tower lighthouse will be seen a mile to the W of the town. There are several small rocky islets and reefs extending for 250 metres off the western end of the peninsula which should be given a generous clearance. To the N of the town an isolated reef, the Secca del Rafo, is marked with a N cardinal marker.  For approaches to the various berthing locations, see individual entries.

		+	| text= Porto Mercantile is situated on the NE side of the old town, protected by a long breakwater oriented SE/NW.  Entry is from ENE, staying well clear of the shoal of Secca del Rafo. The W end of the harbour is mostly occupied by fishing and commercial boats. In the SE corner is a series of pontoons run by the ''Marina Bleu Salento'' concession, which provide berths for up to 160 yachts.  Maximum length 30 metres. Depths at the pontoons range from 5.0 metres at the root to 8.0 metres at the end. Shelter is good here except in strong NE winds, which send in a considerable surge. Facilities include:  fuel station on the W quay; water and electricity on the pontoons; clubhouse; restaurant/bar; WiFi; laundry.

Entry is from NE, taking care to stay to the centre of the channel. Access here would be difficult and possibly dangerous with strong northerlies. Along the breakwater and quays are berths for up to 120 yachts of up to 18 metres. Depths in the basin are 3 - 5 metres and along the quays range from 1 to 3 metres.

Entry is from NNE between the rough breakwater and the slipway of the boatyard. Two orange buoys mark the channel. Acess here would be difficult and shelter probably poor in strong northerlies. The outer and inner basin provide a total of 110 berths for yachts up to 40 metres on a pontoon in the outer basin (depths 5 metres - 60 berths) and around the quays in the inner basin (depths 1.8 metres - 50 berths). There are eight berths reserved for yachts in transit. Facilities include water and electricity; toilets and showers; shuttle bus to city centre; cashpoint (ATM).

Weather

During the summer the prevailing winds in the Ionian are light to moderate SW or SE sea breeze. In spring and autumn northerly winds are more frequent and can quickly rise to near gale force, especially in the lee of high mountain ranges. Winds in summer are generally light from the Straits of Messina until reaching the Golfo di Squillace between Roccella Ionica and Le Castella. With anything W in the wind, it tends to funnel down here over the mountains of southern Calabria, bringing strong gusts and raising an uncomfortable sea. The conditions to avoid, however, when cruising this part of the Ionian coast are strong southerlies. The harbours here are few and far between and none of them are really safe to enter in such conditions. Further east in the Gulf of Taranto local sea breezes predominate during the summer, although a light to moderate northerly is not uncommon. With strong southerlies, a heavy and uncomfortable swell develops across the whole gulf.

Sources for weather information:

• There is a continuous (computerized voice) weather forecast on VHF 68 - first in Italian and then followed with an English translation

Navigation

There no particular hazards in the approach to Gallipoli. The buildings of the old town and a tall skyscraper in the new town are conspicuous from some distance off. Closer in, the low-lying island of Isola Sant’Andrea and its white tower lighthouse will be seen a mile to the W of the town. There are several small rocky islets and reefs extending for 250 metres off the western end of the peninsula which should be given a generous clearance. To the N of the town an isolated reef, the Secca del Rafo, is marked with a N cardinal marker. For approaches to the various berthing locations, see individual entries.

See also Ports above.

Anchorages

Depending on wind directions, it is possible to anchor off in the shelter either side of the peninsula, clear of the access channels to the various basins. Care should be taken on the South side close to the breakwater and close to city wall for submerged cables.

History

The town of Gallipoli was one of the original settlements of Magna Graecia and controlled a considerable area of southern Italy until unfortunately siding with Pyrrhus, King of Epirus, in his campaign against Rome in 280 - 279 BC. Rome’s eventual victory over Pyrrhus (him of the notorious ‘Pyrrhic victory’) relegated Gallipoli to the status of a Roman colony. The basic structure of today’s old town, constructed on an island at the end of a long promontory, was defined by the Byzantines in the 13th century and later reinforced under Angevin and Aragonese rule. The island was only linked to the mainland by a bridge during the 16th century.

Places to Visit

The old town, with its narrow alleys and constant glimpses of the sea, is a delight to explore. Some remains of the original 14th-century town walls can still be seen. At the eastern end of the old town is the impressive castle, originally Byzantine and later extended during Aragonese rule. Opposite the castle is the town’s bustling fish market. The 17th-century Baroque cathedral of Sant’Agata is worth exploring and contains a colourful high altar. Just across the bridge into the new town is the Fontana Antica, a fountain originally thought to be Greek 3rd century BC, with interesting bas-reliefs of mythological figures.
