No coronavirus case on Thassos yet. We hope to keep it like this. People are generally very careful and apply to the measures of the State. Now that we are more or less isolated from the mainland, the danger is even less. We watch the world news and stay home to keep the virus outside.

What, not snow on the mountains??
Yep, your eyes are not deceiving. Thatās real snow on the mountains!
I doesnāt look like weāll be visiting Thassos this year, but the camera is a much needed thing to see every day as we self isolate. Thanks Augie and team. Stay safe.
Hi Sue
Weāre so glad the webcam is helping you through this challenging time of self-isolation.
Staying home can be very challenging, I understand, but itās keeping you and countless others healthy so Iām happy you are hunkering down responsibly. Bravo!
Thassos will be here waiting for you when the time is right.
In the meantime, keep smiling and please share the webcam with your friends and relatives who might also benefit from it while undergoing self-isolation.
Thank you so much for your kind words of support.
HI! I was enjoying my view of Golden beach this afternoon (about 15.30 UK time - and Iām sure I saw mom goats on the beach! Just down from the Fedra. Were my eyes deceiving me?!!! Love to all in Thassos from locked down Brighton UK!

Very probably you have seen the goats of Eleftheria who takes them for a walk some times to the beach during these days when the beach is empty. It is her babies, she takes good care of them, (and her other animals, cats, dogs, ducks), she makes yogurt and cheese out of their milk. If you happen to stay at her hotel you might have the chance of tasting her home products, plus her homemade wine and tsipouro and other special delicacies like sarmadakia. Enjoy the views of Golden beach and donāt despair. You can plan a trip to Thassos even this year.

Good morning, Jai!
I hope to go for my first swim of 2020 tomorrow (Saturday) since the local weather reports are predicting a lovely 29 Ā°C.
This heatwave is from the Sahara desert so if you notice the sky looking a bit orange on the webcam itās because of the fine particles of African sand in the air.
Stay safe and please keep the peace with Gango in the meantime.

Me & Gango will be there soon

What are the restrictions at the moment in Greece and thassos. Are they going to be able to have tourists visit this summer. I donāt think we will be able to go as government in UK said donāt expect to have foreign holidays this year 
stay safe and hope to be there in skala potamia next year
Hi Toni
We expect Greeceās land, air, and sea borders will be opened on July 1st if not earlier. Since weāre doing exceptionally well and have very few new cases on a daily basis, the re-opening date may be brought forward as early as June 15. It depends on the situation over the next couple of weeks.
Greece is not going to enforce a 14-day quarantine on people arriving to the country but they will need to test negative for covid-19 before departing their home country.
The Greek government is planning to conduct temperature checks on people arriving at airports and land borders. Health questionnaires will also be given to all arrivals.
The EU has left it up to each individual country to decide on travel restrictions which means it will be up to Greece and the UK to make a bilateral agreement to allow travel between the two countries. Greece is keen on you being allowed to come this summer so I hope the covid-19 situation improves enough in the UK to give your government the confidence it needs to allow you to travel safely.
Weāre expecting new announcements from the Greek government tomorrow and over the next few weeks. Weāre putting together a webpage that will act as a resource of information and weāll try to answer as many questions as possible there. When itās ready weāll let you know! Please keep an eye on the forum.
It probably seems strange as a concept but perhaps you will need to book last minute in order to come this summer, when the situation allows.
Your safety comes first so letās try to be patient as our governments and health experts find a safe path forward.
Donāt give up on 2020 yet because we havenāt!

Thank you Augie for the update. We will definitely monitor the situation and will keep checking the forum for updates. Will keep our fingers crossed x
I do so enjoy my morning visit to the Golden Beach webcam site, Although we in the UK have have been having the better weather for the last couple of weeks, āschorchioā again here today!
I do so hope that the easing of travel restrictions for visitors to Thassos is successful and doesnāt impact too much upon the remarkable success that Greece has had generally in controlling the spread of this dreadful disease. It is so difficult when the decisions between sustaining an economy for the future has to be balanced against any impact upon the health of a nation and its guests.

Just enjoyed my late morning stroll (rather too fast for my little legs) along the beach all the way from the old fishermensā store at Scala Potamia to the little concrete pier at the other end of Golden Beach. What a fantastic idea this is. Iām sitting now at my desk recovering with my coffee!
How strange it is, late May, to see it so empty and looking so beautiful - just waiting for the world to come back to normal, whatever normal is once again.
It just shows, no matter what else is going on around us, that beauty and nature still exist and they will always be there for us. Hang on Golden Beach, weāll be back sometime soonā¦
