Missing the web cam - I usually have a look most days and think - not long until May and we'll be walking down the beach. Hope it will be working again soon. :(
-
If you want to see how things are, have a look at the Arillas web cam. I just Google 'Arillas web cam'. Looked a bit fierce earlier today! (13/03/13)
-
Hi all. We're on the case, please bear with us! Cam will be back up and running asap.
-
Thank you Rover and Cerys

Thank you Rover and Cerys
-
Its back ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Its back ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Somebody send Angelos up to clean the lens, it's filthy :)
Looks a glorious day in SS today though.
-
Ha Ha did notice it needed a little clean up but wouldn't have liked to be the one to say lol - seems fine now though and great to have it back in action ;D ;D
-
yes - it looked a bit cloudy the other day - still - - - no snow!! LOL
-
Seems to have been the same pic since Sunday, a miserable rainy one at that.
C'mon Angelos, get up on that roof! :)
-
Was I imagining it or did I see spider on the web cam this morning? :-\
-
Not your imagination Diane I saw it too, definitely a spider.
-
Ha Ha thank goodness - wasn't seeing things then
-
Was it a red-back? - - well after a day in the sun - - it might be....
-
It's back again :D
-
:D

OH NO!!!
First it was Vlad, the Black Dog. Now we've got Stavroula The Sinister Spider!
She's big, she's female, and she eats men for breakfast.
Come to think of it, that covers about 50% of the forum members...
-
The spider was there last year as well :D :D :D :D
-
With the seasons 'official' start date just around the corner, no doubt Angelos is busy setting and stocking up at the Waves for hopefully a busy start.
Would it be possible Cerrys, to ask him to hop up on the roof the give the webcam one last clean? The most recent storm seems to have covered it in sand!
-
Depending on the spider you may have seen the tractor today clearing away the seaweed....I was looking over from Vicky Pool, pool and the tractor man was very busy........
-
So was the spider!
-
Ah so spider man is still there then is he.........Promise you was a lovely sunny day clear blue skies and 28c beach being cleaned shops and everything in San Stefanos is awake and awaiting all.......
-
No problem, spider was on lens cleaning duty!
-
Posh taverna! Those spiders cost twice as much per hour as an Albanian...
EDIT
I've just had an email from an Albanian spider offering to do the job for half what the Greek spider's getting paid.
EDIT
I've just had an email from an Albanian bloke called Xhemail offering to undercut whatever deal the Albanian spider gets, stamp on Stavroula, the Black Widow Webcam Washer of Waves, and lick the cat pee off benson's Mythos. All this for a Sizzling Steak at Little Prince once a week and a signed photo of Cerys in her bikini.
EDIT
Stavroula has just posted a picture on Facebook of herself wearing a bikini. Interesting garment if you have eight legs. Actually, not that boring with two.
EDIT
I have replied to the Albanian voyeur thus:
"Dear e-mail, thank you for your Xhemail.
Unfortunately, Cerys does not do signed photos any more. She only does TV. However, as her agent, and as a fluent Welsh-speaker, for a small consideration around the 200,000,000,000 Leks area I may be able to help. Mixalis at Little Prince says that, whilst he is not prepared to give you Sizzling Steak, he would be happy for you to serve it, as he hates doing it himself.
You should take comfort from the fact that the Albanian football team is ranked one above Wales in the region at an impressive 25th, although I will not give this information to Cerys, who is not a woman lightly mocked.
I am sorry that there are no suitable vacancies at the moment, and I wish you good luck in future applications.
Yours etc."
-
Brilliantly funny! I loved that.
-
Ha ha - that is one famous spider :D
-
Jimbo has my sense of humor, and he's a Nafsika guy - go Jimbo
-
Jimbo,I did the Albanian trip two years ago and nowhere did I come across a spider, that came anywhere the beauty and grace
of Stavroula.To watch her traverse that webcam is pure poetry in motion.
-
I would expect no less from any creature under the aegis of the Three Goddesses at San Stephanos Travel, who epitomise grace and beauty, and whose every move is indeed poetry in motion.
Such is the radiance of their being that the automatic filters on my glasses grow darker still when I enter the office than they even were in the intense Greek sunlight, and I stumble from there down to the beach as though in the blackest of nights.
Though we should ponder that Arachne the weaver was turned into a spider by Athina, and it may be that Stavroula is the eight-legged cursed form of a tourist who kept everyone waiting at the start of a trip.
-
Just had another look at the webcam and its looking hot and toasty on the beach! ;D
Tractor is on there cleaning up but there also seems to be a sort of kiddies pool in shallows with sand built around it?
I'm bringing my 3 year old in August for his first holiday and its a brilliant idea to keep kids safe in the water with the sand acting as a barrier to the deeper water.
Was this there last year or it is new?
-
Think it's just the way the sea has left it but there are always lovely little puddles that the small children play in they are really warm like stepping in a bath 8)
-
Stavroula is back!!! :o
-
Thank goodness for that,haven't seen her for a few days I was getting worried,maybe she's been out on the pull at Condor.
-
Ha ha - maybe she can let us know what the entertainment is this year then :-\
-
What's that in the sea towards the far end of the beach? Some sort of platform?
-
Para-sailing platform.
-
Good news. Thought they were building a pier.
-
If the pier was like the Avliotes bypass there'd be a gap before you go to the end.
-
Para-sailing, now that's one to check on you travel insurance policy!
-
Had a wee look this morning,rather overcast and white horses rolling along the shore.Rain or shine we will be there end of May :D.
-
Please get the webcam back up and running today, we want to see them sunbeds!! ;D
-
It's back. There are (some) sunbeds!
-
Looks like the one's Waves put out :)
-
The official pay ones start May 27 I am told so all that 60€ stuff was rubbish. Thankfully!
-
