To understand what you need to be prepared for at the resort, be sure to check the Gallipoli weather for the week. Knowing the forecast won't hurt: you may need to bring an umbrella to protect you from the rain or a couple of extra sunscreens.
So, for those of you who prefer to hike around town and don't like the sun, April is the best time to go. The weather in Gallipoli for three days this month will not surprise you with high temperatures. The air warms up to +18-19° C and you can easily walk around the resort.
By the end of May, the weather in Gallipoli for 5 days will be closer to summer-like. The thermometer reads +20-25°C and this is when the holiday season begins on the coast of Italy.
The heat kicks in from the beginning of summer. In June-July, the weather in Gallipoli will be hot for 14 days. Even very hot: the maximum recorded temperature in 2014 was +33-35°C. On average, you should expect +27-29°C, no less. August won't suit tourists who can't stand the heat either: the temperature may drop by just a couple of degrees, to a minimum of +30°C.
The velvet season starts in September and lasts until early October. The weather forecast for Gallipoli at this time of year is a pleasant 25 degrees Celsius in September and 23 degrees Celsius in October.

When is the best time to go to Gallipoli.
When you have decided on the temperatures, you must decide when to tell everyone you know with the pleasant fact that 'I am going to Gallipoli'. But first it's worth deciding what time of year you personally prefer for your holiday.
To those who love walking under the gentle sun and are just looking for a holiday where you can see the sights rather than get a top class tan, it is best to plan for May. Temperatures will already be around 20°C or more at this time of year, but not as hot as the summer months.
Is it worth going to Gallipoli in summer? If you're not afraid of the heat, and you love warm water, then yes. In August, it will be very hot: around 30°C and above, so you'd better put some spare sunscreen in your bag. In early summer, on the other hand, the thermometer reads +28-29°C.
The velvet season on the coast attracts tourists with the warm sea, the opportunity to sunbathe and bask in the gentle sun. The air warms up to +25-28°C, dropping only to +23°C in October.
When it is cheaper to go to Gallipoli is in late autumn and winter. The average temperature of 15°C will not allow you to swim in the sea and get a nice tan, but you can have a good walk in the resort without being afraid of the scorching sun.
