Live Cams in Perekop

Perekop is a village on the Perekop Isthmus, the narrow neck of land that links the Crimean Peninsula to the mainland, near the town of Armyansk. It takes its name from the historic fortress of Perekop and the ancient defensive ditch that once cut across the isthmus. The village was built after 1922 in place of the town of Perekop, destroyed in the Civil War a kilometre or two to the south, and the earthen rampart of the Turkish Wall, about 7.5 kilometres long, still stretches across the isthmus.
