What it is

Santorini Jazz Festival explained

One of the longest-running jazz festivals in the Aegean, played open-air on Kamari's black-sand beach with the Mesa Vouno cliff behind the stage.

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.
