Love the new webcams.

Can anybody please confirm that there are sunbeds at the far end this year as usual - can't quite see this far on the webcam. Is the doughnut man still around?

Looking forward to a week in Plakias in the middle of August after 4 days in Siteia and 4 days in Ierapetra.

Hi Jane

The sunbeds are in their usual position and the beach is looking exceptionally clean, thanks to Tollis.

The doughnut man is still making his regular daily visits.

Enjoy your holiday.

Interestingly, despite the waves, there doesn't seem to be much wind.  The trees don't appear to be moving much. Someone out there at the moment may be able to tell us different.

There is an excellent real time weather station at Plakias - http://penteli.meteo.gr/stations/plakias/ which I think is the one linked on the useful links on this forum. (My ipad bombs out on that link). This is showing not much wind during the last couple of days of rough sea. However a week or so back, before that weather station went down (now up) it showed very strong winds indeed - northerlies with 80kph speeds - perhaps not so unusual for Plakias.

There's not much wind today but the last couple of days a breeze has been coming in shore hence the waves.  Very nice weather at the moment.

It looks as if there is a storm brewing over the village, but bright sunshine at the far end.  I expect the camera is in an inaccessible spot so it's not easy to clean the lens.  I really love having the webcam - even a murky view is better than none at all.

Looking forward to seeing Plakias face to face in a few weeks.

Hi Arnaki - Asked David to get up there and polish it for us all. Sadly I won't be returning this summer - Off to Kefalos for a couple of weeks in September. I'll comment on the prices (see other topic) when I get back for comparisons sake. I will return!!!

Oh no! - the blurred webcam has gone altogether. I can't handle it!!! Withdrawal symptoms.

We have just come back from there, try Magic beach, fantastic with lovely views from the taverna.
Also Paradisco beach, drive up and through the village and follow the signs. The track is rough in places.
