This Osor webcam shows the small historic town of Osor live, with its harbour full of boats and the bell tower of the cathedral rising above the shore. Osor lies where the islands of Cres and Lošinj almost touch, separated only by a narrow canal, and the live camera lets you see the weather, the sea and the atmosphere before you set off, whether you are sailing through the canal, driving across the islands or planning a quiet day in the old town.
The Osor harbour webcam looks across the bay of Osor, with sailing boats and small fishing boats moored along the quay, the seafront road lined with trees and the stone bell tower of the cathedral on the right. Behind the harbour, pine woods run down to the water and the hills of the islands rise in the background. On calm mornings the boats and the bell tower are reflected in the water, and in the evening the low sun lights up the town.
Osor is one of the oldest towns in the Adriatic. In ancient times it controlled the passage between the two islands and was an important trading town, and later it was the seat of a bishop. Today it is a quiet place of narrow streets, small squares and stone houses around the cathedral, with sculptures on musical themes in its streets and squares, and the Osor Musical Evenings bring concerts to the town in summer. A swing bridge crosses the Kavuada canal, opening at set times to let boats pass between the two seas.
Live images are the quickest way to see what the day really looks like in Osor: sunshine or cloud over the bay, a calm or choppy sea, and how busy the harbour is at different times of day. For sailors heading through the canal and for drivers crossing from Cres to Lošinj, a quick look shows the conditions on this part of the islands.
