River Party
On the banks of the Aliakmonas River, just outside Nestorio in Kastoria, one of Greece’s most iconic summer festivals has been drawing music lovers and nature enthusiasts for decades. Held continuously since the late 1970s, the famous River Party has earned its reputation as the country’s most legendary riverside music festival. If you choose to experience it for yourself, you will soon discover why it has such a devoted following: camping next to the stunning river, tents pitched beneath the trees, refreshing swims in the cool waters, kayaking, climbing, and hiking in the nearby Grammos mountains, along with music filling the air throughout the day and night. As evening falls, live performances ranging from rock, indie, alternative, and folk music to international acts create quite simply a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
