Excellent experience of two great natural sites in Greece.
The Eddesa Falls are absolutely gorgeous. There are two falls, a smaller one and the large one. Absolutely magnificent. The Pozar thermal pools are a great place to enjoy the naturally warm water. Bring a suit and towels. The tour guide who drove us there was the best tour guide I ever had. He explained a lot about the surroundings and history and didn't rush us at any point in the tour. We got to enjoy the full experience of the falls and the thermal pools.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed Edessa’s waterfalls and the Pozar thermal pools at a relaxed pace. Your kind words about your guide mean so much to us!

Pozar: Our Tour guide, Adonis was excellent. We especially liked the waterfalls. A lot of driving though.
The waterfalls was the best part. Beautiful scenery and rushing water and falls. From our Ships port it was at least an hour drive to the first stop. Our guide /driver was excellent and very knowledgeable.

Private Day Trip to Pozar Thermal Baths & Edessa Waterfalls: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Thessaloniki.
How much does Private Day Trip to Pozar Thermal Baths & Edessa Waterfalls cost?
+
Prices start at $228 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Thessaloniki usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Trip to Pozar Thermal Baths & Edessa Waterfalls take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Thessaloniki is not rushed.
Is Private Day Trip to Pozar Thermal Baths & Edessa Waterfalls worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Thessaloniki, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Trip to Pozar Thermal Baths & Edessa Waterfalls?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Day Trip to Pozar Thermal Baths & Edessa Waterfalls suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip to Pozar Thermal Baths & Edessa Waterfalls?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Thessaloniki can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Thessaloniki and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Trip to Pozar Thermal Baths & Edessa Waterfalls start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Thessaloniki within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Thessaloniki?
+
On Outty we rank every Thessaloniki experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gastronomic Food Tour in Thessaloniki with a Chef, Discover Vergina and Pella: Day Trip to Macedonian Kingdom, Thessaloniki : Half-Day Sailing Cruise to Shipwreck Bay !. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Thessaloniki?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Thessaloniki?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
