January 2, 2013 Greece Day 4

Small one-day trip is like an adventure.
Driving to Pella and Edessa!
Without kindness of Christina we couldn't make this travel fun and touching.
There was very little information about this ancient city but by her great effort we could visit these wonderful ruins!

Beautiful mosaics are still seen.

And pillars.

Water pipes of the public bath remain.


And some cute dogs, not from the ancient period.

Then she brought me to the Archaeological Museum of Pella.

We could learn a lot about the life of the ancient people there.
Unfortunately neither have websites and there are very little information online now.
They need much more promotion to show off their honorable history and heritage!

Then we arrived at the hilltop town Edessa and had a late lunch.

Wonderful dishes, brilliant alcohol, and fun chat!
I can't say anything but thank you.








In Greece I found there are churches everywhere, bigger, middle-sized, and smaller ones.
So I realized how devout Greek people are.
This was my first time experiencing the environment of the Orthodox Christianity,  and now I am willing to know more about it.

By the way, Edessa is known by the waterfall.
It was refreshing to feel the dynamic flow of it.
