Cần Quan Tâm
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.

5.00The meeting point was centralized in the city but about a 25 minute walk from the cruise terminal. The Pozar baths are beautiful and very relaxing. It cost 5 Euros each to get in the baths. Then we traveled to a very cute village called Orma and had a delicious Greek lunch (not included in the price). Lastly we travelled to Edessa where there is a beautiful waterfall and lots of scenery including old towns and water wheels. We made it back in plenty of time to walk through the rest of the town and then get back on our ship! Would absolutely recommend!
The excursion was very interesting and perfectly organized.

5.00The excursion was very interesting and perfectly organized. The guide Evangelia was excellent, very kind, and gave a lot of interesting information. The driver Michalis was wonderful and very professional. The brand-new Mercedes bus was very comfortable and clean. Everyone also received a free bottle of water, which was a very nice touch. We also found out that if you book a second excursion, you get a 10% discount. It is a pity that we learned about this later because we had already booked two excursions with this company. Everything was on time, everything was perfectly organized, and we enjoyed it very much. We highly recommend this wonderful excursion!
Great day at Pozar

5.00We were visiting Thessaloniki and we were looking for an experience. Ammon Express delivered. We had a great guide, Yiannis, who was checking on us to see if everything was okay and was providing us with facts around our stops. First stop was Pozar thermal baths and with 12 euros (4 for a towel and 4 each to enter one of the baths), we had a great time. The tour then took us to the village Orma for lunch (we were pleasantly surprised, had probably missed this in the description) to experience an authentic Greek village while the last spot was the picturesque city of Edessa and its waterfall. The group/crowd size wasn't too large while the length of the visit was as advertised. It may be worth mentioning that the driver was great too, as being driven around in Greece can be a an experience on its own. We had a smooth and safe ride. Would absolutely recommend this.

5.00This was a really enjoyable trip. The time at Pozar Thermal Baths was incredibly relaxing, and the walk up to the mountain viewpoint was peaceful and beautiful. The combination of the thermal baths, the mountain walk, the stop for a meal, and the visit to Edessa made the whole experience well worth it. I’m not great with names, but our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and shared interesting insights throughout the day. I went on February 25, 2026, and overall, the trip was absolutely worth the money.
