The holy parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary of Giannitsa belongs to the Holy Metropolis of Edessa, Pella and Almopia. It is the oldest Christian monument in the city. The building permit was granted to a special Sultanic Firmani in 1858. During the Ottoman rule, it was the first (and only Greek Orthodox) temple that operated in Giannitsa.

we loved our stay in Edessa, plenty to see and we easily walked around the town and to the various sights including this gorgeous bridge which can still be walked over. The river under it leads down through the town so the walk back is very pleasant

It was amazing to see this site today, if you have Greek heritage or just love ancient history it's magical. For me I have family that have been here in Edessa for centuries so I felt a special connection to the land and to the site. I imagined what it would have been like all those years ago. For those who don't quite understand or have never been to an archaeological site like this, give it a chance and use your imagination a bit. It's really old, and probably not as amazing to the eye when you first look at it or go there but imagine the great fortifications for those years and how these people lived. Truly an amazing place for a history buff.

This is a darling old Town where all the buildings are made of stone. There is a small square and many restaurants, bars and some small shopping. We loved our time here ( 3 days) and used to to visit Pozar( hot springs) and a trip to the ski resort. Word come here again!

Pay a visit to the museum first, to get to know more about the history of Pella as capital of the ancient Macedonian Kingdom, about Philip the II and Alexander the Great and then wander at the archaeological site where you can admire the beautiful mosaics and the energy of the ancient city. It 's only 40 km away from Thessaloniki, it would be a shame to miss such an opportunity. The site is especially lovely in Spring.
