Édessa is on the Salonica-Flórina road.
The Macedonian town of Édessa (formerly known as Vódena) lies 70km/43mi west of Salonica on a terrace in the foothills of Mt Vérmion, above the Macedonian plain. With its abundant supply of water (falls on the river Voda), it is a popular summer resort. Until the finding of the royal tomb at Vergína Édessa was thought to be the ancient city of Aigai, capital of Macedon before the foundation of Pella.
