Greek Island Transit: Aegean Live Traffic Cameras
Navigate the scenic and historic road networks of the Aegean Islands with our network of over 450 live traffic cameras. From the busy tourist corridors of Rhodes to the coastal ring roads of Lesbos and Chios, monitor road conditions and summer congestion in real-time across the North and South Aegean regions.
VIEW AEGEAN CAMERAS →The Aegean Islands, managed by the Decentralized Administration of the Aegean, encompass some of Greece’s most popular and strategic maritime territories. While the islands lack the expansive motorway networks of the Greek mainland, their road systems are vital for supporting local commerce and a massive seasonal tourism industry. For those navigating the urban streets of Rhodes City or the winding coastal routes of Samos, staying informed about traffic density and weather-related disruptions is essential for a safe journey.
TrafficVision provides 24/7 free access to official camera feeds across the primary islands of the Aegean. Whether you are checking for congestion near the Port of Mytilene or monitoring the flow on National Road 95 in Rhodes, our platform delivers the real-time visual data needed for seamless island transit.
Rhodes: National Road 95
Monitor the primary corridor of the largest island in the Dodecanese. These cameras cover EO95 from Rhodes City through Kolympia to Lindos, providing visibility into the island's busiest tourist and freight route.
Lesbos Coastal Ring
Keep an eye on the road network of Greece's third-largest island. Monitor the traffic flow surrounding Mytilene and the routes connecting the mountain interior to the northern beaches.
Chios & Samos Corridors
Stay updated on the vital transit links of the eastern Aegean. These cameras are essential for monitoring the harbor approaches and the narrow coastal roads that manage the daily pulse of these historic islands.
Cyclades Summer Transit
View live feeds from the high-traffic island hubs of the Cyclades. Essential for monitoring pedestrian and vehicle movement near the busy ferry terminals of Mykonos, Santorini, and Syros.
Summer Surge Monitoring
Real-time tracking of island roads during the peak holiday season, where traffic volume can increase fivefold near major ports and resorts.
Coastal Weather Feeds
Visual confirmation of road conditions during Aegean storms, essential for monitoring coastal spray and potential localized flooding.
High-Performance Grid
Scan multiple island ports and intersections simultaneously with our mobile-optimized interface, perfect for coordinating ferry connections.
Strategic Infrastructure: The Aegean Crossroads
The road network of the Aegean Islands is a specialized system designed to manage the unique geography of an archipelago. Managed by the Decentralized Administration of the Aegean and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, the infrastructure supports everything from the industrial output of Chios to the international tourism of the Dodecanese.
National Road 95 (EO95) on Rhodes serves as a primary example of high-utilization island infrastructure. Connecting the capital to the historic town of Lindos, this route undergoes significant stress during the summer months. To ensure safety and flow, regional authorities have integrated an extensive network of monitoring cameras, many of which are accessible through the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow both residents and visitors to identify bottlenecks at major junctions before they become stranded in summer traffic.
Primary Island Arteries
- National Road 95 (Rhodes): The busiest road in the Dodecanese, serving as the main north-south link for the island.
- The Mytilene Ring Road (Lesbos): A critical urban artery managing the traffic flow around the administrative center of the North Aegean.
- The Chios Coastal Route: The primary loop connecting the capital to the northern and southern districts of the island.
- Port Approach Corridors: High-density roads in islands like Syros and Santorini that manage the interface between maritime and terrestrial transport.
Did You Know?
Traffic in Greece drives on the right-hand side, similar to the rest of continental Europe. While speed limits on island roads are generally lower than on the mainland—often 50 km/h in built-up areas and 90 km/h on rural stretches—strict adherence is vital due to the narrow and winding nature of many Aegean routes.
Prioritizing Safety in the Archipelago
Road safety is a continuous priority for the Hellenic Police and regional Greek authorities. Greece has made significant strides in reducing road mortality, with nationwide fatalities dropping to 654 in 2022. However, the Aegean region presents unique challenges, including a high proportion of two-wheeled vehicle traffic and the seasonal influx of international drivers unfamiliar with island terrain.
National statistics from ELSTAT (Hellenic Statistical Authority) highlight that a significant portion of road incidents occur outside of major urban centers on national roads. In the Aegean, the combination of sharp coastal curves and the frequent interaction between cars, scooters, and pedestrians requires constant driver vigilance.
TrafficVision empowers Aegean drivers by providing the visual tools needed for proactive safety. By allowing motorists to see a queue at the Rhodes Port or heavy rain on the Samos coastal road before they start their journey, our platform helps reduce the frustration and risky overtaking that can lead to accidents on narrow island corridors.

Traffic in the Aegean is defined by the rhythmic arrival of ferries and the intense pulse of the summer tourism season.
The "Ferry Effect"
On islands like Santorini and Mykonos, the arrival of a major ferry can instantly saturate the local road network. Our port cameras are essential tools for residents looking to avoid the "ferry rush" and for travelers coordinating their arrival with island-wide transit.
Summer Tourist Density
From June through September, the population of islands like Rhodes and Chios swells with visitors. TrafficVision’s live feeds allow you to identify exactly when the coastal roads are clearest, helping you find the most efficient time to move between the beaches and the historic island centers.
