Batsi beach, right now

Season

Open until November

What does the camera show right now?

The camera shows Batsi bay and beach on Andros live, from a fixed point. You see the sea, the sky and life in the village.

The camera belongs to Andros Tours, the business of the same family that runs Bella Vista Design Studios, so the picture is quite literally our own view.

The village of Batsi and its beach from across the bay, Andros. Bella Vista Design Studios is on the beachfront, in the centre of the picture.

What is the weather like in Batsi now?

The camera is the most honest weather report for Batsi, because it shows the sea instead of an icon. If the bay is flat, there is no wind. If the umbrellas are leaning, the meltemi is blowing and the day calls for the sheltered side of the island. If the beach is full at eleven in the morning, it is July or August.

When is the best time to watch it?

Early in the morning, when the bay is empty and calm, and in the late afternoon towards sunset. The village faces west, so it catches the whole sunset, and that is exactly the view from our balconies. If you would like the same view from your own balcony, see the sea view studios.

Are there other webcams on Andros?

Yes, there are cameras elsewhere on the island, mainly at Gavrio port where the ferries from Rafina dock, which are useful on the day you arrive. Ours is the only one that shows Batsi beach, the very spot where you will swim if you stay at Bella Vista Design Studios.

For the village: Batsi, the beach and getting here. For the island: Andros, beaches and trails.

    A lovely apartment in a central spot in Batsi. The sea is 10 metres away, organised but with room for a free swim too. A mini market right next door and parking 150 metres away. […] Mr Giannis is extremely helpful and welcoming.

    I had a wonderful stay. It was in an ideal location in the town, opposite the beach, with a wonderful view from the balcony. […] Giannis was a kind and generous host.

    We came for the Easter holidays. Batsi is an excellent location, and Mr Giannis's studio where we stayed was amazing, clean, with flawless service and a view of Batsi beach.

    Excellent hospitality from the host. A spotless, brand new space, fully equipped with everything you could need. The room has a sea view and is perfect for relaxing. It is worth staying here, and it is certainly better than you imagine.

    An ideal apartment for your stay on Andros. […] We were given flowers by the lady who looks after the apartment, and there was a bottle of wine for us, which was a lovely surprise. We will stay there again as soon as we come back to Andros.

    We had a very comfortable apartment with everything you need including appliances. The view was magnificent. The proprietor Mr Yannis was wonderful and so very welcoming and helpful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    An excellent spot in Batsi, right in front of the beach with a very beautiful view. Mr Giannis was very helpful. The room was comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. There was a welcome drink (wine), as well as water in the fridge, coffee, tea and so on.
