While the island is historically interesting, the experience is marred by annoying sales people who will do everything to extract cash from you. I ended up speaking only Serbian and highly annoying one of the women, much to my delight. Food in the dock area sucks, as do the many flies who are all over the place. However, there is some charm in the desolated buildings, plus, after Dakar, this is a welcome change.

The women museum (musée des femmes) on Ile de Gorée is very interesting, especially when you ask for a guide. It's right in front of the slave house (maison des esclaves).
