Edessa, Ancient capital city in Central Macedonia, Greece

The waterfalls of Edessa cascade through multiple levels within the city, creating a network of waterways and natural formations across the urban landscape.

The city maintained its position as a strategic point along the Via Egnatia, connecting the Adriatic Sea to the Aegean Sea during the Roman period.

Edessa underwent transformations from a textile manufacturing center to a regional administrative hub, reflecting changes in Greek industrial development patterns.

Visitors can access the waterfalls through dedicated pathways that connect the upper city area to the lower observation points throughout the year.

The Roman bridge in Edessa remains intact and continues to span a section of the ancient Via Egnatia trade route through the city center.
