EDESSA
Edessa (formerly also called Vodena or City of Waters) is a city in Macedonia, the seat of the municipality of Edessa and the capital of the Pella Regional Unit in the Region of Central Macedonia. The city is famous for its waterfalls and is located on the ancient Egnatia Odos.
Park of waterfalls
An amazingly beautiful green area with cobbled streets, stone bridges and a great view, dominated by the vertical Karanos waterfall, which falls from a height of 70 meters.
A little further down is the double Lambda waterfall, with the water cascading down into two lakes.
Water Museum
Water power powered the mills, pre-industrial workshops and 6 factories operating here in the 19th century. Some of them you will see today in the city’s Open Air Water Museum, one of its most interesting attractions.
Visit Neromylos Giannakis, which holds an aquarium-herparium for your surprise. It is the first in Greece with freshwater fish, but also snakes, water turtles, eels, crabs and crocodiles.
Church of the Old Metropolis (of the Dormition of the Virgin)
The Byzantine church of the 14th century is located in the Varosi district. It is a wooden-roofed basilica with beautiful frescoes and hagiographies from the period 1375-1389 and some others from the 17th century.
Pozar Baths
Loutra Pozar are 35 km from Edessa. The area has been known since ancient times for the healing effect of its waters that spring from the bowels of the mountain and have a constant temperature of 37 degrees Celsius.
