Going from Volos to Milies by train Moutzouris

I always felt it as an obligation to visit Milies village by train Moutzouris

As a child i heard many stories since my grandfather was the driver of the famous "Moutzouris" train. So i decided to try this experience to celebrate the arrival of Spring time.

If you want too know why the Mountain of Centaurs (aka. Pelion) is so special, you have to visit Milies on foot plus train. You can hike right next to the train rails and during this time you will enjoy Historical Architectures like the Railway station of Milies and the Bridge of the Italian Architect De Cirico (yes the father of Georgio De Cirico).

The scenery is amazing. You think you could have watched it in an American movie. There are trees creating natural tunnels where the light fades and you fear of something coming out to you. Perfect place for photography lovers. The path ends where you want it to end. If you decide to take it all the way you will reach the village " Ano Lehonia", where the train Moutzouris starts its journey.

There is also a second path, a more harsh one which will take you to the Cave of Centaur and the picturesque church of Taxiarxis. To reach that point you have to take a big breath and get yourself ready for a difficult hike.

So, are you ready for it? Go up, following the very intense fauna of the area, get into a gorge, then follow a very narrow path with the cliff right next to you until you notice a small church at the end of the rock. This is quite harsh but also very pleasing and different from what you usually do everyday. It is an experience!

Whe you get tired and you decide to call the day off, you can enjoy some really tasty food at the taverna "Old station" right next to Milies train station, or you can go up at the central square of the village Milies and choose between various tavernas, cafes and shop.

Don't you miss this adventure!
