Production

Summer Lovers with the screenplay by director Randal Kleiser was filmed from August to October 1981 primarily on the Greek island of Santorini. Scenes were also filmed on the islands of Crete, Delos, and Mykonos.

The production secured permission to film at Akrotiri an archaeological site. In an area of the site selected for its light and production values, Quennessen, under the supervision and instruction of an archaeologist, began work before the cameras.

Dutch actor Hans van Tongeren was visiting the area as a tourist when Daryl Hannah spotted him in the crowd. She arranged a meeting with the director and, subsequently, Van Tongeren was added to the cast as Jan. In a scene, actor Christopher Atkins was in a photograph published in a Greek magazine. Atkins had recently starred in The Blue Lagoon (1980) for director Randal Kleiser.

Summer Lovers is the final theatrically released film of actress Valérie Quennessen, who played a working archaeologist. She retired from acting shortly after to raise her children and died in a car accident in 1989 at the age of 31. It was also the last film released by Filmways as it was already a new acquisition for Orion Pictures; on August 31, 1982, it was renamed with its parent's name, marking the end of the Filmways name.
