Live webcam is located under water, not far from the coast of Karavostasi beach on the island of Crete.
A pile of stones enters the lens, between which underwater inhabitants - exotic fish and sea animals - scurry. The area is decorated with decorative paraphernalia. Thanks to the high quality image, everyone can feel like a member of J. Cousteau's expedition, even without getting their feet wet.
Karavostasi on the island of Crete, whose webcams can be viewed in real time, is a huge territory, 7 km long, on which there is a sand and pebble beach.
During the day, you can enjoy the sun and swim in the sea, and in the evening you can admire the stunning sunsets, amazing sea panorama, framed by cypresses, pines and hills.
The name Karavostasi in Greek sounds like "the stopping place of ships." Thanks to its spacious grounds, this popular spot is rarely cramped. Here you can comfortably stay also due to the remoteness of this beach from major resorts, such as Sivota or Parga.
Visitors love Karavostasi for its tranquil environment, warm, clear sandy-bottomed sea, and stunning views.
Despite the crystal water, the depth increases quite sharply here. Therefore, bathing children can be uncomfortable. But, nevertheless, a well-established infrastructure and a calm environment can compensate for this disadvantage.
The beach has umbrella rental, changing cabins, showers and a first-aid post. Also near the coast there is a huge number of taverns and restaurants, accommodation facilities.
Those who want to combine a beach vacation with exploring interesting locations may like a hike to the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Elina, where you can see not only the ancient ruins, but also the place of the battle from which the Peloponnesian War began.
The best time to visit Karavostasi is June, although the swimming season here starts in May, and in July-August there is a peak growth in tourists.
It is in late spring - early summer that it will not be crowded and hot here, and the prices for entertainment, food and accommodation will not be as high as during the peak season. Also, this resort will be comfortable to relax in early autumn. At this time, the sea water temperature is still comfortable, but during the day there will be no such sizzling heat.
It should also be borne in mind that to travel to Greece, which is included in the list of Schengen countries, Russians will need to obtain a Schengen visa. It is recommended to pay for a multiple document. If you have a biometric passport, you can enter the country without a visa.
If you do not want to mess with paperwork, Crete webcams will allow you to enjoy travel without visas and restrictions, from anywhere in the world.
