Many thanks for your response and wonderful photographs. I look at the webcam every day to see how the weather is and remind me of such wonderful holidays.
Great pictures as always . I wonder if it is due to reduced pollution as we have had snow across the world. We had it bad last week, Spain few days earlier and USA now.Even Texas.. The Mississippi in St Louis has ice floating down it. My third favourite web cam.. St Louis ... https://www.earthcam.com/usa/missouri/stlouis/?cam=arch_riverview
Go Thassos number 1. Sydney harbour bridge number 2. Steve
Yes, it's possible to have a day trip to Samothrace from Thassos! You can hire a private sail boat or yacht with a skipper. Find them at the harbor/marina of each coastal village - Limenas and Limenaria offer the most options.
In the future, there may be a ferry connection between the two islands but right now there isn't. Sea planes may also become an option in the future. We'll let everyone know when this happens, of course!
Hey Augue, we are looking at coming to Thassis this year. What's being said about covid and the vaccine roll out on the island and what are you hopping for. Thanks Nigel
The vaccine rollout on the island is going smoothly and we hope to fully vaccinate these groups this month, ahead of Greece's re-opening for tourism in May 2021.
The strategy is to open for tourism and welcome everyone into Greece who:
Carries a vaccine certificate of an approved vaccine
Has a negative PCR text from the last 72 hours
Has been infected with Covid in the past 6 months (therefore has antibodies/immunity)
For those of you who don't meet the above criteria, the Greek government is considering allowing you to enter Greece if you take a rapid test at the border and it comes back negative. The Greek state will pay for the test.
Greece is currently experiencing its 3rd wave and we aim to keep the numbers very low as we did last year. Greece has been under lockdown restrictions since November and they will likely continue until after Orthodox Easter (May 2) so that when we open for tourism next month it will be very safe like last year.
Since all restaurants, cafes, and bars have been completely shut since November 2020 due to lockdown, after a very poor summer season, the Greek state is going to provide grants to restaurant and bar owners to help them re-open this summer. We don't want you to find closed businesses when you arrive so we're doing everything to keep Greece safe and open for your holiday.
If you are able to come this summer it will mean a lot to all of us! We need your support more than ever but remember your safety should always come first.
Even though restrictions still applied and church services and gatherings were reduced again this year, it was a beautiful Easter holiday with small family gatherings outdoors with perfect weather.
Restaurants, cafes, and shops are beginning to open now. Yesterday I saw tourists for the first time this year!
So glad to hear you were able to spend Easter with family and enjoy the good weather. We are praying and keeping our fingers crossed that we get to visit from 24th July hopefully the uk and Greek governments let us but safety first. 🙏🏻🤞🏻
Good Morning, I have noticed that the camera panningalong the bay about 7mins in at 10:44 hrs stops and does not continue to pan across the beautiful beach. Is there still a problem?
It's a technical issue with my panning script. I need to remake it, but just haven't had the time to do that yet. Usually the camera feed is open next to me and when I see it stuck, I reset it. I'll try my best to get it fixed soon.
