The Edessa Waterfalls offer one of the most stunning natural sights in northern Greece. Located in the city of Edessa, in the Pella region, these waterfalls attract visitors throughout the year. The city sits on the edge of a high plateau, where water flows from the Edessaios River and suddenly drops into a deep gorge. 

The largest and most famous waterfall is Karanos. It reaches a height of nearly 70 meters, making it the tallest waterfall in Greece. Water crashes down the cliff with force, creating mist and cool air. Just nearby, smaller waterfalls like Diplos and Lamda add to the overall beauty. 

A special feature of the site includes a path that goes behind the main waterfall. From there, visitors can watch the water from behind the curtain. This creates a dramatic and unique experience. Moreover, there is a small cavern underneath the waterfalls visitors can explore paying a small entry fee that is well worth it.

Next to the falls, the Water Museum of Edessa showcases how the city once used water power for local industries. The site includes old mills and traditional buildings that now serve as exhibit spaces. Through these, guests can learn about Edessa’s history in textile and flour production. 

The park is open daily, and access to the main areas remains free. However, visitors may pay a small fee for entry into museum buildings. Several cafes and restaurants sit near the entrance, offering local dishes and drinks. Additionally, shops nearby sell local goods, including sweets, herbs, and handmade crafts.

Reaching Edessa is simple. The city lies about 90 kilometers west of Thessaloniki. Travelers can take a car, train, or bus. Road signs and clear directions help visitors reach the waterfall park easily. Parking is available close to the site.
