Pelion Walks - Hiking Trips:

Mount Pelion has a great number of trails and paths suitable for hikes, horse ridding and mountain bike of a small scale. Explore the „Kalderimis“ a network of 18th century old and beautiful arched stone bridges and paved donkey paths. Through time a great deal of these kalderimi’s has been destroyed, neglected or tarmac ked, but some parts are still intact and an occasional section is being renovated. The eastern side of Pilion is more rugged  and steeper than the western side, so walks there often span larger differences in height.

Little Train Of Pelion "Moutzouris"

We should probably also mention the small traditional Pelion train (Trenaki "Moutzouris"), which connected Volos with the mountain village Milies between 1904 and 1971. The route was then ceased for commercial and economical reasons and was reinstated in 1985 as part of the local legacy. On the weekends during the summer months the little steam locomotion revives again on the same old route.

Timetable:

During the summer season every weekend, 11 a.m. Ano Lehonia - Milies. 16 p.m. Milies - Ano Lehonia. Lenght of the trip, single ca. 90 minutes.

Price ca. 13,00 Euro, Children 8,50 Euro = round trip
