The sea looks a bit rough today!!
-
I'll say!!!
-
Looking lovely - blue ska and flat sea today - a tad cold tho'!

Can't be as cold as here?
Barny.

I hear that there is a large Christmas tree in Plakias this year near the bridge where the buses turn around plus a nativity scene, is this a first? & does that mean the big wide world is arriving in our paradise.
-
Bah humbug!

Where's the web cam gone?

Looks like Morpheas has taken over the hosting of the webcams. The new link needs to be moved to the 'Useful Links' tab to replace the old Livikon link. Ploppy?
-
The Livikon Webcam 'Useful Link' is now pointing to the new location.

oh-er!! looks a bit grim down South today. http://en.sat24.com/en/gr (http://en.sat24.com/en/gr). Mind you - It's not much cop here either. Good day for playing patience/snap/rummy of finishing that book! Or maybe just one more Aplha/Mythos etc?
-
Definitely Mythos Red weather!!! (or Fix dark, or Kraft dark or ..........OUZO)
I can only hope there is an improvement in the weather for October 6th.
-
Hope it improves a little sooner than that - I'm going tomorrow!!
-
Big storms today & for the next couple of days.
Was very serious this morning but just had a couple of smaller ones. & the sun is shinning (at the moment)
Must be beer o'clock

I was there on the 21st and the camera did not lie. We knew the storm was coming and it hit at around 10.30a. We wisely decided to have breakfast in ostrako main building. Just ticking onto eggs & bacon and it turned so dark like something out of the old testament. Rain ruining down the street like a river at the side of the bakery. Thunder, lightning, horizontal rain and hail stones the size of marbles all at the same time....... But it was great... we had been, boiled and cooked for two weeks and locals too were glad to see the rain and it cool down a little. It did settle down by mid evening and we ate outside at Gorgona. The Ostrich new building made of glass filled up with rain. A local said they were going to put some fish inside and use it as an aquarium. A great day, one off.
-
Hi......we were the goldfish !...we were inside the Ostraca greenhouse at the time...feeling a little bit like tomato plants ...but boy, that was some storm !
-
The sea looks a bit rough today, even if not as dramatic as the circumstances that Jackie reported! Still, I'd rather be in Plakias than here - looking in on the webcam....
We were there for the last week of the (Olympic) season two years ago and had glorious weather with lovely swims from the almost-empty beach. I hope it picks up for people out there now.
-
I seem to be addicted to the web cam, keep looking!
Barny.
-
Yup......rougher than usual but there were still at least three people out there swimming ! Would have thought surfing would be more appropriate ! I check every day....sometimes more than once.....I feel it keeps me in touch. Makes me feel better !
-
Oh no.... Oh no no no no no! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!
Not your point entirely, Jackie, or even slightly, perhaps, I understand, but I feel a rant coming on.
No surfing without control.
There was an idiot on the beach a couple of years ago with one of those 'kites' that people fly above boards. Apart from nearly clobbering several people on the beach, getting it up (so to speak) and failing miserably when it came back to the beach, he made the water effectively inaccessible in the sense that 'you wouldn't this clown drowning you (wing comes down), or running you down (in the water)'.
Rant (justified?) over.

I'm right behind you there........we were watching the kite surfer and hw he/she didn't clobber someone I have no idea ! Apparently there are rules about limiting/banning all sorts of sea sports off Plakias - including jet skis. One turned up a few years ago, spent the whole afternoon polluting the water (there was a fine film of fuel over everything) and was then seen off by the outraged locals. There are too many resorts where this has taken over.......so I am also right behind the Plakias approach. I wasn't suggesting surfing should be introduced but, living in the West Country I know surfers brave all conditions...that was the point I was trying to make..obviously not very well !
-
Plakias weather's looking well grim today with thunderstorms tomorrow. Is everybody home and snuggled up with the central heating on or are some of you still out there enjoying everything else Plakias has to offer??? Been back 9 days now and missing it - and had my boiler serviced (no jokes please) just in time for our own foul weather to come.D
-
It's getting colder down here in Plymouth now too...so the heating's on ! It was great to meet you in Plakias. Hope you had an amazing stay ! We did. We'll be back next year...already planning !
-
Big storms today.
Love looking daily at the webcam but glad I'm warm at home today.
-
Imagine if the web cam had sound as well ?
Barny.
-
Hi Barny
that would be great!! ;D
-
Sound? What sound? I have yet to hear anyone singing at The Livicon! No need to even shout out loud for a Mythos as Dionysos is always on hand.
Oh to be back in Plakias, somewhere must offer central heating, surely?

Ooh - looks worse than here - who'd a thought!!!!
-
Hope the weather is as forecast ... sunny next week, as we are back to Plakias on Tue for a week, mind you we have been there before this time of year with some big storms and its quite something to watch almost none stop lightning and rocks the size of your fist being washed up across the sea front road.
It will be good to go Olive picking and Raki making and of course it would be rude not to taste it !
-
We seem to be a web cam down?
Barny.
-
It's back!!
-
Is it just me or the web cam in Sfakia has been upgraded? The picture is clearer and I can now see much farther across the pelago.
-
Picture wasn't very clear this morning.....nor was the sky nor the bay. Looks like a very stormy day. Not your typical Plakias weather at all ! It always amazes me how it can be like this one minute (obviously more so during the winter) and then calm and sunny 24 hrs later. Guess that's why we love it. Mind you...after the storm in Sept it took only 15 mins for the sun to come out...wish I could say the same for Plymouth !
-
Looks a bit rough today! But is it still warm?
I really need a window in my works room!
Barny.
-
It looks like Manchester in Plakias today - that is looking at the weather. The similarity stops there.

-
Is it the camera or do the trees look a bit 'bare' today?
Barny.
-
Can't see a thing - its gone dark!
-
And I thought it was just me !.........it was very stormy the other day so perhaps the trees suffered a bit.
-
looks almost as nice today in Plakias as here in sunny Nottingham:) - (copied from Its quiet Carruthers)
-
Have a look today! A bit 'choppy'
warmer than here I'm sure.
Barny.
-
Yes, looks wet and windy !!
-
Sky's an interesting colour too.......a stormy day ?
-
I saw news of a Saharan sandstorm hitting Crete today.

The view on the webcam certainly looks rather murky today.
-
A lot of today's photos have that hazy look.......will have to see how bad the sandstorm was.
-
The sea is like a mill pond today
