It was back in 2001 when we started streaming live photo snapshots captured by our web camera on the caldera cliff of Santorini. We are proud to mention that our webcam was then the very first one to operate live from Santorini. From the rooftop of Heliotopos Hotel in Imerovigli village, the camera has been capturing and uploading a photo every one minute, on a 24/7 basis with minor outages for maintenance or damage repairs.

Our webcam faces toward the West and North-West direction and offers a panorama of the cliff and the sea below, the village of Oia and the island of Thirassia across the bay and also, the famous Santorini sunset in the background. For a detailed depiction of the camera’s orientation and its line-of-sight, please see this map .
