Edessa
The beautiful city of Edessa is about 90 km away from Thessaloniki. It provides a nice experience to anyone who wishes to see Greeces largest waterfalls and enjoy the beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding landscapes.
The waterfalls of Edessa are among the world natural heritage sites with one certain feature that makes them unique. In time they shifted forward thus gradually creating new caves while the majority of the waterfalls worldwide because of the erosion at a certain degree they shift backwards.
The waterfalls of Edessa are the largest waterfalls in the Balkans. They have a little more than 70m height, being at the edge of the rock. The continuous water motion has "sculptured" the stone thus creating a unique Geologically formed water system.
The tourists can visit the waterfall cave and actually see how a compact rock is eventually created by the power of water . Back in the city, the main water stream that passes through the center has been divided into many smaller channels thus creating beautiful impressions to most of the visitors.
The waterfall area is accessible by stairs that eventually lead to different points of view, while giving us the opportunity to go directly below the Waterfalls. All around the waterfall area you will easily spot some nice coffee shops and traditional restaurants. Prices are considered very good.
