The ultimate Athens music festival in the summer (07.6-27.7) downtown by the sea – SNF Nostos 20 • 21 • 23 June
Release Athens started in 2016 and since then has been one of the most important summer music events in Athens, but also in the whole of Greece, with the main venue being Water Square, a wonderful place located next to the sea and at the same time a few minutes away from the center of city.
