Arrived in Italy and we have some exciting news for our followers in Norway!!

Gallipoli

Our sail from Lefkada, Greece was okay. We used about 30 hours and we arrived in Gallipoli on the heel of Italy. We drove through Italy when we went to Greece to fill up our boat, and both of us has been in Italy seperately once each. We are looking forward to spend more time in Italy this time.

We arrived after sunset and that is always exciting if we can see where to go. But after some help from a Italian boat and a French boat we were moored at the town quay. None of them spoke English so it was an interesting conversation. It is possible to stay at the town quay for 5 days without paying.

The next day it was Wednesday and I read that every Wednesday it is a farmers market in town. I love farmers market! It was exciting walking around in a new town in a new country. We had to walk through town for 2,7 km but it was easy to find the market.

A nice decoration on a wall.

And you can see of the buildings that we are in Italy!

Many nice buildings.

At the market! It was so many nice fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish, cheese, and many other things.

And the smell when you are walking around the market… hmmm.. specially where you find olives.

We bought different things from the market, and we got some extra cheese we didn`t knew what it was..

On the way back to the boat we stopped for lunch. I love Italian food and all the colours they have!

Felizia at Gallipoli town quay.

Later that day we decided to walk around the old town. The entrance is close to the town quay.

On the other side of the town quay there is a small marina for smaller boats. But it would be fantastic to stay there for a night!

On the “sunset side” of the old town. It was beautiful walking around there!

We went into Santa Maria Degli Angeli Church. It was beautiful.

Beautiful paintings!

We walked around the old town first because it was nice in the sunset.

Astor had more open eyes than I so he saw all theese black cats between the promenade and the sea. Actually it was good I didn`t saw them, it would have been a problem to leave them there.

Some of them tried to climb up to Astor.

Old town lies on a island outside main town.

The view towards the new town with the castle on the left side.

On the east side of old town there is a harbour for fishingboats.

As normal at this time of the year, it is quiet in old towns.

But many beautiful buildings..

Basilica Cattedrale di Sant’Agata

Inside the church.

Christmas all year around!

A restaurant waiting for the season!

Many beautiful details!

Many narrow streets in old town!

The town quay! In almost every kind of wind directions it is nice to stay here.
