Description
Escape the city and explore the Pozar Thermal Baths and Edessa on a day trip from Thessaloniki. Relax in the warm waters, visit the waterfalls, and explore the old town.
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from a central meeting point in Thessaloniki. As you travel towards the region of Pella, your escort will share useful information about the area, the destinations, and the day’s schedule, while you enjoy the changing landscapes of northern Greece.
Make your first stop at the famous Pozar Thermal Baths (Loutraki Aridaias), located at the foothills of Mount Voras (Kaimaktsalan). Surrounded by lush greenery and a natural gorge, Pozar is renowned for its thermal waters, which maintain a constant temperature of approximately 37°C all year round.
Enjoy free time to bathe in the outdoor natural pools set in a stunning landscape, use the indoor spa pools (optional), walk along the river and nature trails, or have coffee or lunch at local taverns and cafés. The warm waters are known for their relaxing and therapeutic properties, making this stop especially enjoyable during autumn and winter, though it is equally refreshing in spring and summer.
After your time at Pozar, continue towards Edessa through picturesque countryside and small villages of the Pella region. The short drive offers beautiful views and a smooth transition from nature to urban charm.
Upon arrival in Edessa, visit the Waterfalls Park, where powerful streams of water cascade dramatically, creating a truly unforgettable sight. During your free time in Edessa, walk through the waterfalls park and take photos, explore the traditional Varosi old town, enjoy coffee or a meal in the city center, or shop for local products and souvenirs.
