This section of the tour takes you from Santa Maria di Leuca to the city of Gallipoli and then on to the coastal resort of Porto Cesare.
The coastline here is less dramatic than the coastline in the previous section, but it’s a nice ride on quiet roads. There are beaches on the Baia Verde on the way into Gallipoli.
