Greece - Day 13: Great views, Preveli and around Mt Paligremnos

The night before got quite nice, so I enjoyed the sunset.
Today was a beautiful day, with lots of sun and clouds mainly hanging in the mountains. I got another nice look of the 3 rocks, then I followed some beaches and an adventurous rocky coastline with not much space to walk, so I even got a little sea-shower.
Then I came to the Palm forest and gorge of Preveli, where I also saw the first tourists of the day - Germans and they wouldn't be the last. Seems like the tourist season started plus I am in more touristy areas.
After some road walk, passing a monastery and walking around some mountains with excellent views, I dropped down again to the sea.
I walked along some beaches, around Mt Paligremnos (mire excellent views!) with some more people, finding its peak in Plakias, which was bustling. I used the supermarket and quickly continued along the road.
I had enough of the day, but finding campsite isn't easy, when there is a road right next to the sea and on the other side a steep mountain. But after walking around for a while, I found a nice little plateau over the sea, hidden from the road. It took me a while to prepare it (so many stones and thorny brushes) but it is really nice. I'm just concernd the wind will change directions, because it is quite strong and at the moment I am a little wind protected...
