Drivel to Lechonia village where your train awaits. Step aboard Pelion’s old-fashioned train for a leisurely journey to the lovely village of Milies.
The mind behind the railway was Italian engineer Ernesto de Chirico, father of the famous painter Giorgio de Chirico. Between World War I and World War II, the railway played significant role in the economic development of Pelion region.
Today, your relaxing ride affords a glimpse of some of the outstanding technological innovations made to accommodate the railroad. The challenging geography of Mt. Pelion meant that bridges, tunnels and bastions had to be painstakingly built and dug into the landscape.
View these impressive structures, along with train stations and beautiful scenery, on your way to Milies. On arrival, take a walk along a path that winds through the forest.
In the village, explore the small folklore museum, visit the ancient church and savor refreshments served at the charming main square.
