Edessaios river runs into the city from the foothills of the Pindus Mountains and is channelled via concrete banks, finally spilling over the cliffs edge in one large and two smaller waterfalls.
Discover Edessa’s Waterfalls
The largest and most beautiful Waterfall has the name of the first Macedonian King of Karanos where the legendary King Midas once lived with his unique gardens. Today, Karanos waterfall stands as a “tower of water” with a height of over 70m in the heart of the Waterfalls Geopark and with its continuous flow reminds everyone that water is a source of life, power and destruction.
The waterfalls of Edessa are among the world’s Greek natural heritage sites, with one particular feature that makes them unique. They shift forward, gradually creating new caves, while most waterfalls worldwide, because of the erosion to a specific degree, shift backwards.
