Edessa or the city of cascades has a unique view of the Macedonian plain and this is the second most beautiful thing that will catch your attention after the waterfalls. The town of Pella is one of the most beautiful residential sets of Macedonia. The benchmark for both the residents and guests of Edessa are the waterfalls of the city.

The biggest of them is called Karanos. Under it there is a small cave and the Chapel. Everyone who has been there once has an unforgettable experience and promises to come back. Of course, what you should not miss when you are there is the area of the Waterfall Park. There is, on the one hand, the open-air water museum (in the old industrial zone of Edessa with the water mills that date back to the mid-19th century) and the Administrator Information Center to learn details about the city.

Edessa is not called the city of water for no reason. Two of the many reasons are that its waterfalls have a unique privilege of being in the center of the city, and on the other hand, its waterfalls are considered the oldest in the whole Balkans.

Edessa is a city with history that is not only beautiful. The ancient years, it had been identified with Aiges, namely the first city of the Macedonians. However, this view proved to be wrong after the brilliant excavations that came to light in Vergina, Imathia.

If you are for vacation to Edessa, there are certainly some attractions and points that you should not miss to visit. In addition to the waterfalls,you should visit the Stone Tower with the six clocks. If you want a more romantic environment and a place to take many photos, you must ask where the place of the High Cliff is. An area that has breathtaking views, which should be for meditation.
