The Mediterranean climate of Gallipoli is perfect for those who love basking in the gentle sun. The season starts from mid-June and continues until mid-September.
Thanks to the rocky peaks of the Serra Salentino, the waves of the Ionian Sea are not high, and the wind hardly bothers tourists. However, from the southeast, air currents reach the resort, which leads to a kind of rainy season in early to mid-winter.
Rainy seasons in Gallipoli are rare. If there are any precipitation, most of them occur in late autumn and winter. Surprisingly, December and January can be considered the rainiest months.
