Hello, I'm looking at this website https://www.provincia.le.it/salento-in-bus-orari-e-linee/
to research buses between Gallipoli, Nardo, and Porto Cesareo, but it seems they stop in October (for example the number 104).
Does that mean there's none whatsoever after that date, or there's another timetable but its not been published?
TIA
I'm sure there are buses running--maybe even on all the same lines as in high season, but I cannot find a schedule, either. I hope someone else can help you. I tried Google Maps, and it returns public-transportation results for the Lecce-Gallipoli trip. Unfortunately, the link it provides (to the provincia website) doesn't work.
@acraven Thanks for taking a look.
BTW would you happen to know where the bus stop for the bus (to Nardo) is in Gallipoli, I'm seeing conflicting and imprecise info trying to google for it (seems it not, or it might be, or it might not be, outside the train station, but somewhere else, perhaps, maybe, perhaps not).
I'm sorry, I don't know where the bus stop would be. I'd think near the train station would be logical, but no guarantees. When I visited Puglia last time, I took some van trips from Lecce to multiple destinations each day and was just dropped off where the driver found it convenient. I never actually took a public bus. Usually that information can be found online somewhere, but it's often not easy. If you can find a "Contact Us" email address for the Gallipoli tourist office (is there one?) online, those folks would have the answer.
Hello martinh2003x,
I haven't done this but detective work looks like there are regular trains between Gallipoli and Nardo Centrale station which is outside Nardo proper - 29 minutes and 1.6e on Trenitalia.
Unfortunately the 5 minute transport to the city seems to run infrequently so you can book a ticket to Nardo Citta but that makes you wait a long time for the 5 minute ride. And judging from the look of Nardo Centrale station on Google maps there won't be cabs waiting. It does look like certain trains are better - 9:07am connects to the bus in 5 minutes but other trains are timed less well.
Trenitalia also runs a bus from Gallipoli to Nardo Citta (BUS) that seems to run in the afternoons.

This also seems to connect to Porto Cesareo but only once a day so your options are limited.
It looks like the #1 Chiffi Bus does this route but as a once a day thing and is very early in Gallipoli and may not work for you.

I can't say I've found everything but the operations do seem to be limited in winter with buses running once a day in each direction or not connecting well.
Hoping this helps a little and you find what you need,

@hiredman Thank you for doing some research on behalf of others, thats very alturistic of you.
