Galatina: frescoes, tarantism and wine

A morning on foot with a licensed guide, from the Basilica of Santa Caterina to the Chapel of San Paolo, then a tasting at a winery.

What you do

You meet at 10am in Piazza Orsini, and from there a licensed local guide shows you Galatina on foot.

First comes the Basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria and its frescoes. Then you walk through the old town to the Chapel of San Paolo, the place in Galatina tied to tarantism. If you have only ever read the word, this is where it gets an address.

The morning ends sitting down, with a tasting at a winery in Galatina. It takes three hours in all, and a minimum of three people is needed.

By bike

You can ride to Galatina for the 10am start. Collect your bike for free in Lecce, San Foca or Calimera, I'll plan a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook, and during the visit the bike stays locked with the lock in your kit.

After the tasting there is no rush: the afternoon can be an easy ride back. If you'd rather not race the clock in the saddle, do the visit on a day off the bike.
