River Party
On the banks of the Aliakmonas River, just outside Nestorio in Kastoria, the heart of one of the country’s most beloved summer festivals has been beating for decades. The famous River Party has continued uninterrupted since the late 1970s, rightfully earning the title of the most legendary riverside summer party in Greece. If you choose to attend, it quickly becomes clear why it has such a devoted following: riverside camping next to the stunning river, tents beneath the trees, refreshing dips in the cool waters, kayaking, climbing, and hiking in the nearby Gramos mountains, along with music filling the air throughout the day and night. Evenings bring live performances ranging from rock, indie, alternative, and folk to international acts—creating, quite simply, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
