The area was searched and soon after the man was arrested over the allegations.
On Tuesday afternoon, parents who were on Kamari beach reported the elderly man who police say is from Britain to officers.
He was ‘photographing the minor children who were playing carelessly’, according to Protothema.
The elderly man was brought to Thira Police Sub-Directorate and identified by the mother of one of the children.
