Edessa Tourist Information
The capital of this prefecture is Edessa, built in the foothills of Mt. Vermion, with a view over the plain, lush greenery, flower – filled gardens and plenty of water. Edessa’s celebrated waterfall is to be found to the northeast of town, in a thickly wooded area with a stunning view. Under the largest cataract there is a small cave with a chapel dedicated to the Ascension (Analipsi). Five kilometers from here is the village of Agras, which took its name from the Macedonian warrior Tellos Agras. One of Greece’s biggest hydroelectric plants is located here. The lake that feeds the plant, which covers an area of 1,000,000 sq. m., has become a habitat for wild ducks and swans.
