Tips

What To Expect

1

Pozar Thermal Baths

The distance is 110km and lasts approximately 1½ hours. One explanation regarding the meaning of the name “Pozar” is “after the charcoal” while another one is “under the fire”, which forms an evidence that in the past the village was located in a different place that was burnt or set on fire and the villagers gave the name “Pozar” to their new village. We reach the enchanting Pozar hot springs, the spa into nature. The healing water infiltrates the ground and after going quite deep is heated up and goes back to the surface enriched with minerals and trace elements.Admire the beautiful gorge located in the majestic mountain where the river “Toplitsa” (in slavic language is defined as “the hot river”) flows through it forming small cascades and shallow shores. Nowadays is mostly known as the river of Saint Nicolas.

Edessa Waterfalls

The name Edessa means “a tower into the water” because of the intense presence of the liquid element in the city since the antiquity. We have free time to admire the impetuous waterfalls and capture the enchanting scenery; where the park of the cascades meets the edge of the rock, also known as the “eyebrow” of the city, is located, according to the famous greek author Menelaos Lountemis, “the step where God steps on to go up the sky”. The water comes from the springs of the mountain Kaimaktsalan (Voras) supplied constantly by the snowmelt of the mountain. We may follow our trip attendant-archaeologist for a walking tour to the traditional district of Varosi and visit the Water Museum or Sesame Mill of Flavors for an unforgettable experience or enjoy a nice meal in one of the traditional restaurants of the area. We depart to Thessaloniki at around 15:00p.m and we are back approximately after 1½ hours (16:30pm), making the same stops where we started from.

  • Wonderful Day Trip from Thessaloniki

    This was a wonderful day trip from Thessaloniki that was a little bit different from the ruins and hustle and hustle of the city. The thermal baths were amazing, even in the Summer. They weren't too hot and we all felt great when we were finished. Our guide, who was AWESOME took us into her hometown for lunch, and gave several recommendations which did not disappoint. Our final stop was Edessa and it was just a short walk to the beautiful waterfall overlooking the valley! You can even walk across behind the waterfall to cool off and get some great pictures! Our guide made the experience truly wonderful. She had a ton of knowledge about and passion for the area and it came through on our trip. Our driver was also amazing! I don't think I could have navigated those narrow, winding roads in a normal car, let alone a bus.

    Changing rooms have much to be desired. Not even any light to see when changing. Other than that it was nice.

    This is a great day trip. Very well run. The theme is water with the warm light-blue springs of Pozar to the spectacular Pella waterfall. The spring baths are soothing, but the management is illogical, so expect that. There are numerous views of the waterfall. Hiking paths surround it. We even saw a rainbow. Our guide Eleni was very knowledgeable and accommodating to all our needs. She's a star. She was ably assisted by Giorgios. Highly recommend this tour!
