About in the middle of the beach is a pier where fishing boats are moored, fishermen usually sits on the pier and mend their nets. Restaurant Gorgona lies close to the pier and it is the largest restaurant on Naxos. Well, I think it must be one of the archipelago's largest restaurant. At least I can not think of anyone that is larger. The food is very good and the sea view is absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately can the service sometimes be a bit tardy.

One of the rocks have the shape of a stranded shark. Unfortunately, it is sometimes scribbled down and looks mostly sad. In the picture below, it is natural, with eyes and teeth, and then it looks much happier.
