What it is

Ifestia Volcano Festival explained

A re-enactment of the volcanic eruption in light and fireworks over the caldera, watched from Fira and from boats.

Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Santorini tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
