This picturesque town is home to a stunning 12th-century cathedral with a mosaic floor that'll make your jaw drop. And let's not forget about the beaches – crystal-clear waters that'll have you questioning why you ever settled for anything less.
Gallipoli: The Pearl of the Ionian Sea
Ah, Gallipoli – not the war movie, but something way better. This charming fishing village is like a postcard come to life. Wander through the old town, perched on a limestone island, and feel like you've traveled back in time. Pro tip: catch the sunset from the city walls for a moment you'll never forget.
