The Waterfalls of Edessa

Waterfalls are considered as one of the most impressive natural phenomenon around the world. Enjoy a visit to Greece’s picturesque waterfall in Edessa town which happens to be the capital of Pella. The river forming this renowned Greek waterfall is Edessaios. The city is filled with little bridges and the sound of running water will accompany your strolls around the town. The main volume of water was collected in a small basin in the west side of the city, up to the end of the 14th century, but due to a geological phenomenon the water changed course and crossed the city forming this spectacular waterfall; meanwhile numerous smaller sized rivers were created and the lake, where the water was once accumulated, eventually dried out. Many 17th and 18th century travelers described the city as built on a rock from which many waterfalls fell.

Η Έδεσσα δεν θα μπορούσε να λέγεται πόλη των νερών χωρίς τους περίφημους Καταρράκτες τους μεγαλύτερους σε όλα τα Βαλκάνια. Οι καταρράκτες Έδεσσας βρίσκονται στην άκρη βράχου σε ένα μοναδικό γεωπάρκο σμιλεμένο από το νερό που λέγεται 'φρύδι της πόλης'. Συνολικά υπάρχουν επτά καταρράκτες, από τους οποίους σήμερα είναι ορατοί μόνο οι τέσσερις.
