Greece - Day 14: Two gorges in one day

The morning started with a coloful sunrise and some road walk.
Instead of following hier coast, I decided to walk up Kalikratis gorge, over some paths to the Asfendou gorge and down again.
It was beautiful and apart from 2 Swiss guys, which were also walking down Asfendou Gorge, there were no people. Very much different to the Imbros gorge (as I saw later) which I had thought about hiking first.
There was some fence climbing, some route finding and lots of rocks and good views. Alitalia adventure but not too much - exactly the right amount!
Back down at the road I continued a bit and had thought to go to the beach Agios Charalampos to sleep. Of course there were some more fences on my way, but the biggest problem was, that it was much too windy on the stony beach, so my tent pigs wouldn't stay and it was so windy, everything I left jnattended was flying away. So I moved up a bit the stream bed, where I had seen Oleander bushes before. Now I am hiding there, obviousely blocking some sheep paths (bells around me) and it is a very stony ground... but at least (so far) its not too windy down here!




Good morning :)
