Day trip to Tower in the water Edessa

Edessa

“Tower in the water” literally means the name of Edessa from ancient times, because the city at that time had and still has a strong liquid element (rivers and waterfalls, hence its names: Edessa (vedes in Phrygian was water or tower in the water).The city was founded in 813 BC by Heraklides Karanos under the name “Edessa” 4 rivers flow through Edessa, which form 12 waterfalls. The twelve waterfalls of Edessa are located on the edge of the city’s citadel in a park that spans 100,000 sq.m. which is also known to the locals as the “eyebrow of the city”.

Both of the waterfalls can be visited. Among them is the municipal tourist kiosk PISINES which has been in operation continuously since 1953. Its name is due to the swimming pools that were created by the Germans in 1942 for local tourist development and shaped the area. Steps and paths even lead behind the falls. The water of the Waterfalls comes from the springs of the Agra-Vryton-Nissi wetland which are fed by the snows of Kaimaktsalan. The large waterfall, known as Karanos, is 70 meters high and is illuminated at night. The Double Waterfall is twice as long as the Great Waterfall because it is divided into two waterfalls that feed the D.E.H factory under the rock. Access and viewing of the waterfall is mainly from the Waterfall Park.
