I see the weather is already getting warmer - wish you all the most peaceful, joyous and wonderful Easter.
Hoping that Easter really does bring Thassos and all Greece a renewal of hope.

Hi Augie

Beautiful Thassos looks ready for the holiday season :smiling_face:

I am assuming that the restrictions have been removed as in the UK?

Thanks Jai :blush:

Hey Jai :slightly_smiling_face:

Yep, the island is buzzing with activity as shops and accommodations are preparing to welcome you all!

Most restrictions have been lifted since May 1st. Masks are still required indoors but other than that, things have returned pretty much to normal. Woohoo!

Thanks Augie, Wonderful, looking forward to 1st July see our friend’s :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello
I noticed a problem with the surveillance camera.
In the middle of the tour, near the ‘green sea’ boarding house, the image is only of water. The IP camera should be raised slightly.
All the best

@dodo I’ve watched the beach pan from start to finish, but I wasn’t able to see what you’ve described. Do you happen to remember what was the time? If you see it again, please record the time and let us know. Last week, I did quite a big of debugging which sorted out strange camera movements (which were like what you’ve described), but those should be gone now.

Hi Sebastian
Thank you for the answer
Yes, the problem no longer exists. It started around 10:40 when the image went down to the water level, without seeing the beach.
It has certainly been resolved. Now it is OK.
I have been coming to Skala Potamia for 7 years from September 1st to September 21st. I always watch the beach pictures with great pleasure.
And this year I will come again on August 31st.
Best regards

No camera today :disappointed_face:

@toni Today, the internet was down in the area for a few hours due to infrastructure upgrades but it’s back up now. I’m pleased to tell you the webcam’s internet speed is even faster as of today so enjoy! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @toni :slightly_smiling_face: The camera’s available bandwidth has been doubled from 11 Mbps to 22 Mbps as part of an infrastructure upgrade in Greece. Wherever fiber to the home is not available, Cosmote doubles your internet speed, where technically feasible, for free.

Hi
What’s happened to the beach sweep

@rob7853 Looks like the script controlling the beach sweep hiccuped. When the internet or power drops for too long, sometimes the script disables and needs a manual restart.

Why do the benches keep moving :smiley: there were 2 now 1 and facing in a different position

@toni The benches are not bolted to the ground so they are easy to move. I don’t know why people move them around but probably because they want to change the view or they want to move them out of the path for running and jumping into the water… or perhaps someone had an event (such as a wedding) and they moved them out of the way for photo optics, etc… Your guess is as good as mine :wink:
