A little story about the Little Train of Pelion

The famous Pelion village of Milies is a popular tourist destination all year round. In Milies you can visit the church of the Archangels (built before 1741), the folklore museum and the Greek Enlightenment Library of the village. But the best thing you can do in Milies is take Smudgy, the Little Train of Pelion from the railway station of the village. This unique train was designed in 1895 and connected Volos and Lechonia and later Volos and Milies. The constructor of Smudgy was the Italian engineer Evaristo de Chirico, father of the famous painter Giorgio de Chirico.  The journey through the forests offers a magnificent and rewarding view!

Your journey begins at 10.00 a.m from Lechonia and your return is scheduled at 15.00 from Milies.
