Welcome to Gallipoli, the Ibiza of Italy!
This year, for the first time, from 21-25 September 2017, Italy Gay Travels will be hosting the highly anticipated Italy Gay Summer Pride. A 4 day Sensational Summer Event with 5 parties, on one of the most beautiful undiscovered gems of Italy: the bay of Gallipoli in Puglia (not in Turkey)!
Our Italy Gay Summer Pride gives you the chance to discover one of the trendiest holiday destinations in Italy. Puglia is the talk on everyone’s lips and it is no surprise the gay community in Italy and around the world are flocking here.

For this reason, Italy Gay Travels is confident that everybody can feel safe and be themselves in this beautiful stretch of Paradise.
Italy Gay Summer Pride is held in the heart of Salento, an awe inspiring natural landscape in the southernmost tip of Italy (sunshine guaranteed). Amazing food, Caribbean like sandy beaches, hot boys and friendly locals… should we go on?
