Live Webcam at Golden Beach, Thassos

:stuck_out_tongue: Withdrawal problems?..I’m about to brake into my private & emergency supply of Ouzo and Metaxa and drown my sorrows over the lack of Thassos views!!! P L E A S E hurry up and fix the webcam…I don’t know how long my liquor stash will last :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue: :slightly_smiling_face: (my signs of withdrawal)

a whole week (7 days) with no thassos webcam we`ve still got 6 weeks till we arrive at golden beach i have had to look at my photos of previous holidays.
please get us our live picture back asap.

Hi friends,

After many long hours on the phone with tech support at Earthcam, we’ve gotten the webcam feed back online! The only problem is that the camera’s movement control software isn’t responding and so we fear that something in the camera may have indeed been affected by the thunderstorm… it will take us some time to get to the bottom of this (can’t even give an estimate) but trust that we are doing everything possible to get the webcam fully operational.

For those that are suffering from withdrawal symptoms we will have a 24-hour hotline made available and dedicated to you for emotional support. Don’t do anything crazy now! Just try to bear with us and take some relief in knowing that Thassos is still here and is as beautiful as ever.

Updates will come as we have them. Thanks for being patient with us!

seems the hotlines down aswell folks :smiley: …* is on redial*…we have yellow & blue trees at least and a lovely white building, is much appreciated :slightly_smiling_face:

Returned after 1st visit to Thassos on 19 June 2011. Had a really good time. Stayed with Costas and Katerina at Smaragdi II, they are brilliant hosts, made all the difference to a gr8 holiday, such a friendly and welcoming couple. Thankyou both.
Had some really nice meals out, Vigli, Fedra and Finikas (think thats correct)just to name a few.
Didnt need any bars as spent late night with Costas and Katerina at the poolside bar. As descibed by lots of others, lots of different music and plenty of chatting!!! Also took part in the quiz night… didnt do that well!!!LOL

Will definately return to Thassos, Golden Beach and Smaragdi II, only question is when as there is still so many others places to go for a 1st time.

Well, better anything than nothing… at least, olives are alive and kicking. :wink:

May I suggest that someone leave that ā€œcomfortingā€ tsipouro :wink: , take screwdriver, climb to the camera and point it (manually) to the Skala’s bay, to cover some of the sea and some of the sky, PLEASE!

That hero (Hercules, so to say!) will receive a very special (drinkable!) gift from Serbia, when I come to Thassos in two weeks, as a token of gratitude.

ŠŸŠ¾Š·Š“Ń€Š°Š²!

The Mouzakka, Greek Salad and large glass of wine for tea the other night didn’t work to lift the depression, so we have made a trip to Morrison’s and stocked up on the Mythos so that we can drown our sorrows at not being able to see our beloved Thassos on the webcam! Cheers everyone!!

:-S :stuck_out_tongue: B-) >:P :smiley::slightly_smiling_face: I run out of Metaxa and Ouzo, the nearest place where I can get a Mythos (and that is a big MAYBE) is almost 25Km away…I can’t handle it, I need…I MUST SEE a Golden Beach view soon…or…I’m definitely having Go-Thassos webcam withdrawal…and if I can’t find Mythos…well…whiskey seems to be my last option… :frowning::frowning::frowning:

I think we need to take our sheers next week, the grass and bushes are nearly up to the camera lens!!

At least you can try to point the camera manually towards the bay and Skala Potamia… it’s a pity to have it there, but showing just grass and a little bit of blue water at the upper part of the image…

Hi Radu,

No can do, unfortunately. If we could we would have done this a long time ago. The camera is entirely mechanical and cannot be moved manually, only via the controls which are not working right now.

We’re on it. Please continue being patient as we try to get this problem resolved… :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi friends,

With the help of our technician on the ground here on Thassos as well as Earthcam’s tech support team, we managed to get the camera positioned to show a much more enjoyable view of our beautiful Golden Beach. The motor that controls the movement of the webcam got a heavy dose of electricity from a lightning strike on June 15 which apparently fried it… so we hope the current view will suffice until a permanent solution is found.

Thanks for your patience and continual support. You may all sober up now! :slightly_smiling_face:

Fantastic, all smiles now
:slightly_smiling_face::slightly_smiling_face::smiley: B-) :-*

And about the ferryboat transport to the island can you tell me if there is any problem ? a beautifull summer to all.

Much much better now! :slightly_smiling_face: Thank you all for your efforts! Can’t wait to come back! Counting the days now…

:slightly_smiling_face::smiley::slightly_smiling_face::wink: B-) … and I just opened up a good bottle of whiskey…oh, well, I guess I’ll drink it to celebrate being able to see that beautiful site of Golden Beach again…then I’ll sober up, I promise… :wink::wink: Thank you Go-Thassos Team…oh..yes of course, C H E E R S!!!

As I promised, you’ll receive well deserved gift, old serbian plum brandy - ā€œŃˆŃ™ŠøŠ²Š¾Š²ŠøŃ†Š°ā€!

Thanks!

Hello,
I recommend not to try to fix all the webcam, the best would be to buy a new HD webcam.
Thank you for understanding!
Have a nice day :slightly_smiling_face:

good morning to all 5 weeks to go and i am there!!!

soare i will agree with you they should get hd camera and and the other to situate the main stream on golden beach to show the shops, and alternate one the beach and one the main road.

THASSOS FOR EVER

THASSOS GIA PANTA!!!
