Hi Coling, we’ve been experiencing the opposite - it’s been one of the coldest winters ever recorded in Thassos! Bring your skiis and let’s climb Ipsario. 
Hi Augie . Any chance of resurrecting the “Beach Sweep” now the season is nearing - so much to see like the progress made on the new builds along the front - the umbrellas that will soon be sprouting along the beach - so much to see 
We are coming again in July ( for 20th time !! ) Thanks again for all you are doing - the quality of the web cam image is also so much better.

Hey Tone! Coming to Thassos for the 20th time this year?! You’re a true veteran!
As a way to honor our dear veterans, we activated the beach sweep for 3 times a day:
- Morning Beach Sweep @ 07:35
- Afternoon beach sweep @ 12:35
- Evening beach sweep @ 19:35
Thassos Time (GMT+3)
Congrats on your 20th visit to Thassos this year! That’s impressive!

Oh no … just as places are starting to put chairs out, and open up for the season, the camera goes off line!!
Hi Ellie,
You won’t believe me at first, but this is actually a good thing! I’ll tell you why:
In 2019, faster internet speeds have come to Thassos and, last week, we completed the application to upgrade the webcam’s dedicated internet line. It looks like they are in the process of upgrading it today. Yay!
Slow internet speed is why the camera sometimes keeps buffering. It also prevents us from streaming the Live feed in High Definition (because the connection isn’t fast enough to support it)… even though the camera is HD. After the upgrade, we hope the internet connection will be fast enough to stream HD video therefore offering even clearer views of Golden Beach! We’re also supposed to see less buffering with a faster connection. fingers crossed

Hi Augie,
In that case … hooray!! All is forgiven! We look forward to seeing our favourite beach faster, bigger, clearer, and all ready for summer! You do a grand job … thank you
Hi Ellie and everyone
The webcam’s internet connection was upgraded on Saturday and the upload speed nearly doubled as a result. Hooray!
However, it’s still too slow for us to reliably stream in Full HD (1080p). So we’re keeping it at HD (720p) for now.
We requested the internet provider to increase the speed even more if it’s possible, but it seems unlikely because the webcam’s location is quite far from the internet provider’s utility box, and distance matters.
We’ll keep you posted as we find out more. In the meantime, please let us know if you see a difference. Thanks everyone and have a great day!

Hi Augie,
From here in Waterloo, Iowa it is a great view. A little buffering but not as much as before. Thank you so much for the views! You are one of the best nephews EVER!

Awww, thanks Aunty!
I’m glad you enjoy the webcam views but when are you coming to see Thassos with your very own eyes? It looks great on camera but spectacular in real life!

Hi everyone!
I’m sorry for the blurry video during the zoomed-in beach sweep. It’s been like this for about a week now, and we’re baffled as to why the camera doesn’t focus correctly while in motion because it was working before.
We already reached out to the camera manufacturer’s technical support last Thursday. They are reviewing the case and will get back to us (hopefully) with a solution.
Some people have written to us, asking if it’s blurry because it’s showing a nudist beach. For those who are wondering the same thing… nope, it’s just a technical problem. But if you’re looking for a nudist beach on Thassos, check out the northern end of Paradise Beach!

It looks very quiet at the moment, hope there is a few more people next weekend when we arrive.
