Re: Live Webcam at Golden Beach, Thassos
Hi Stuart got back to uk yesterday 😢 had a wonderful time it was beautiful as usual
Yes the sun beds varied in price this year we managed to find 2 beds and umbrella for €10 in golden beach but saw prices as high as €20
I noticed that there were fewer rows of them I guess because of the restrictions as more space for people with their own chairs
Just waiting for easyJet to release their fights for next year 🙏🏻

Re: Live Webcam at Golden Beach, Thassos
Hi guys, has someone been moving the camera? We're getting some very different views!!!
prices for sunbeds
hi augie, came back from thassos last weekend, pity we didn't meet up I sent a few pns, but no answer
I was shocked to see the rise in prices for sunbeds is thassos trying to scare visitors away? luckily loutrou bungalows are directly on the beach with no fee at all. but 40 € in aliki is just ridiculous careful, thassos, that's not the way to go .by the way, my family had a wonderful, for me bittersweet, time

Re: Live Webcam at Golden Beach, Thassos
Hello - the camera has misaligned itself - between Alexandra Golden Beach Hotel and the campsite you can almost only see the sea and hardly any beach. Please adjust a little :-) Thank you

Re: Ferry Schedule affected by the storm?
Good morning RaliK97,
As of yesterday the ferry routes are back to normal and running every half hour from Keramoti to Limenas, and 4 routes from Kavala to Skala Prinos. On Monday due to the bad weather there was only one ferry transporting people from Limenas to Keramoti and Keramoti to Limenas and none from Kavala to Skala Prinos nor from Skala Prinos to Kavala. I'm happy to say that all routes and ferry times are running back to normal again. Safe travels and have a great time on Thassos!

Fires Update
Hey everybody 
Since there's a lot of interest in the fire situation, I wanted to share this with you:
The fires in Alexandroupoli were massive, fueled by 7 Beaufort winds, and burned about 40,000 hectares in just the first 3 days (that's the size of Thassos island!). Before hearing that news, I could already tell the blaze on the mainland was massive because I had never seen smoke and ash like that before, not even during the island's previous 2 fires in 2016 or 2022.
I took this picture outside of our office in Limenas on Tuesday, August 22:
I took this picture from the same location today, August 28:
The island is on alert and on the hotter and windier days, mountain roads are closed. It's inconvenient for me as a local who likes going for walks along mountain trails but I don't mind, I'm glad the authorities are doing what they can to help protect our precious forests when the weather conditions are conducive to fires.
Fingers crossed we'll get through this summer without any forest fires on Thassos. The locals as well as the authorities are doing everything they can to prevent them, calling for volunteers to stand guard 24/7. Many locals are heeding the call. The goal is to spot and respond to any fire within 30 minutes of it starting because if it can be reached quickly then the chances of preventing it from spreading are exponentially higher.
If you are on Thassos and you see any signs of smoke or a fire, please alert your host immediately so they can inform the local authorities. You can also call the emergency number 199 or the Thassos Fire Department at +30 25930 23199.
Thank you so much and enjoy your holidays on Thassos!

Re: Live Webcam at Golden Beach, Thassos
Hi Dan,
I completely understand your concern.
The tragic situation on the mainland is improving.
On Tuesday, the smoke clouds from the fires in Alexandroupoli were blown over Thassos so we had smoke passing high above us which made the sky orange. Small flakes of ash also fell to the ground but that lasted only about 1 day.
The sky has cleared a lot since then and the air quality is much better. It's safe for children and people with lung problems, like my elderly father who has stage 2 COPD. He stayed indoors on Tuesday to be on the safe side. He's been going outside since Wednesday and hasn't had any problems.
