Lake Vegoritida

Set on a hill near the centre of Edessa, the Church of the Koimisis tis Theotokou is the city’s most important surviving Byzantine monument. Originally a 12th-century three-aisled basilica, it preserves impressive ancient columns and fragmentary frescoes, with spolia likely from an earlier cathedral.

The most famous attraction of Edessa is its waterfalls. The park, where the waterfalls can be seen is near the railway station. The area next to the waterfalls has been developed so that one can pass below the main waterfall and watch the view from there.
