Hi. We are staying at Anastasia Studios Golden Beach from 7th June and I have heard that there is a big wasp problem on the island. Has any one come across this and is it really a problem. Cheers Chris

Hi Olga...Hotel Emerald is approximately 300 meters from the beach.
Hi Chris...Nobody will be able to give you a definite answer on the wasps. Some years they aren't around, some years they can be annoying. This year and last year they haven't been problems. I can't speak for the entire island as they may be buzzing around in different areas. It all depends on the weather and the location. Some people will make the wasp issue into something that will make or break the experience. We don't have swarms of wasps chasing people.

1. Where I can get CURRENT temperatures of the air and more important, of SEA for Skala Panagia, or Thassos at least.
Answer: We usually look at this website for temperatures http://www.meteo.gr/cf.asp?city_id=71 (What we've noticed is that the temperatures are taken from the airport in Kavala which isn't too far away. We don't have a weather station on Thassos. It is accurate enough though.) Water temperatures are still warming up right now. It's a bit chilly when you get in, but you'll quickly get used to it. With the hot sun, you'll be perfectly fine in the water.
2. Is there any internet cafe in Skala Panagia? Or Net-club? Anything?
Answer: There is an internet cafe in Skala Panagia. You'll find it along the waterfront. I don't know much about prices.
3. Which mobile provider is dominant in that area of Greece?
Answer: Mobile providers for this area are Vodafone, Wind, Cosmote.
4. What is the price of Ouzo or Metaxa in the supermarkets? :P
Answer: These are approximate prices. Many stores vary in price. 3 Star Metaxa (350ml) -- 5 euros 3 Star Metaxa (700ml) -- 9 euros 5 Star Metaxa (200ml) -- 4 euros 5 Star Metaxa (700ml) -- 12 euros Ploumari Ouzo (200ml) -- 3 euros Ploumari Ouzo (700ml) -- 8 euros
5. Can I get to top of the Ipsarion mountain by my (rented) car?
Answer: You will need a car with 4 wheel drive like a Jimny or other type of jeep. It is possible to get up there with a regular car, but it will be a rough trip. We managed to pop a tire in our regular car. There are many rocks on the road closer to the peak.
6. What's the price of gasoline on the island?
Answer: Gas on the island really depends on which gas station you go to. We are getting our gas anywhere between .90 and 1.04 euros per liter. As I said, it depends on the station and area.

HI Nicki returned from skala panagia on sunday boo hoo !Weather was glorious sea was a much needed cooler (quite a few jelly fish) but the waters so clear they are easy to spot.As for the mariner rooms are very basic but adequate for the needs of myself and daughter.We had a ground floor room only draw back was we only got the sun in the morning.The gardens are very nice .Over the road is the pool which we did not use and they serve food and drink.Yet again we only had one drink there as I felt it more expensive.If you cut through the camp to the beach turn right and use the sun beds that are cream with cream sunshades as they are only 5 euros for the day ,the rest all charge 7!.I would recommend fedras restaurant as they are reasonably priced.have a good trip the island is stunning,

this idea of freezing the cam twice a day is great-it means family and friends can tune in and see how great golden beach is.the cam is a great way of lifting your spirits especially when it's raining here in the uk.keep up the good work

2. I've asked for Skala Panagia. Limenas is too far for simple daily checking of e-mails. I don't want to carry there any PDA's.
3. I should use different term, thanks. I Just want to check which Greek provider has better roaming contract with my here.
4. I'm not drinking alcohol in the caffes, it's too expensive, as I see from posts here. Plus, I want to buy some presents for my people here, and Metaxa (with old Serbian king's herald!) is always a good preset here in Serbia.
5. I have grave heart condition, and I can't climb by foot, regretfuly... hence the question. Ipsarion is my main target
6. What's the problem for asking this? I'm renting a car from agency on island, so i want to calculate my expenses on gasoline in advance. Maybe it's a problem with our mentality here, or the fact that price is lower than here.
Anyway, thanks for advices. No hard feelings. We are just chatting, and we all share the same love for this place.
Pozdrav!

The temperatures have dropped a bit because of a cool front pushing south from the Balkans. The water is still a bit cool, but it is perfectly fine for swimming. I've been in the sea a few times already and it is ok. I'm sure the many other people that are out in the water already would say the same. With a clear day and warm sun, it's great

Hotel Emerald is split between three complexes. All three have easy access to the pool and bar. Have no worries.
