This morning we drove to Preveli, and after dodging the morning shepherding, we descended the ~450 steps down to the palm forest and beach at the mouth of the Kourtaliotis gorge. We went for a short walk along the river gorge in the cool shade of the palms and settled into a small cove on the beach. Ah, some rest between long hiking days. We didn't last long in the still heat, but returned to Damnoni for another lunch and sprawl on Amoudi beach. (No, I'm not complaining that it was hot - hot is a welcome break from the extended French winter).
This was one of the few nights we returned to the villa before dark. Home for the week at Aoritis Villas (with a perfect balcony for breakfast):
