Between Gialopotama and the harbor of Agia Fotini, there are two adjacent beaches with fine pebbles and sand, surrounded by huge rocks. These beaches, called Pirgos, are ideal for snorkeling and naturism, as it's very possilbe to be here alone. There is a dirt track heading to Pirgos, starting 500m north of Gialopotama. You could also walk there from Gialopotama (along the rocky shore). Above Pirgos, you will see three imposing caves.
