The steam train of Pelion, "Moutzouris-Smudgy" was of huge importance to the development and history of Pelion as well as Magnesia itself. The train currently departs from Ano Lehonia, and arrives at Milies after passing through other villages such as Pinakates, Ano Gatzea and others. All visitors to Pelion can enjoy the journey on the train, and be taken back in time to over 100 years ago.

This historical train that used to operate the whole route between Volos and Milies is literally running on the tracks of history. Construction began in 1892 and in 1896 the first part of the line, namely until Ano Lekhonia had been delivered. The rest, all the way up to Milies would have to wait for 1903. The chief engineer of the project was Evaristo De Chirico, father to the well known painter and sculptor Giorgio De Chirico, who was born in Volos. 10am at the Ano Lehonia Railway Station. The little train’s whistle signals the beginning of an unforgettable trip. The ascent on the beautiful slopes of Mt. Pelion has begun, History is about to unfold… This 60cm gauge line, one of the narrowest in the world, is home to the loco and the 4 cars of “Moutzouris”, a common Greek nickname reserved for someone who turns things black, an obvious choice in the days of steam. The terrain between Ano Lehonia and Milies is mountainous, filled with lush vegetation, mainly consisting of plane trees, olives and pine trees. The altitude gained allows for a spectacular view over Pagasitikos bay. Additional to this, the fact that the little train’s maximum speed is but a mere 20km/h allows every visitor to enjoy the spectacular view over gorges, magnificent old bridges and tunnels, thus putting together all the jigsaw bits of this scenic route. The train’s only intermediate stop is at the Ano Gatzea station from which it toils on to Milies and towards the completion of this 15km run in a total of about 90 minutes. Up until Milies, the route is filled with natural beauty and features numerous architectural landmarks, constructions from carved stone and grey limestone that form arched bridges, tunnel entries and retaining walls, an exquisite sample of which is the five-arched stone bridge of Kalorema, in the area of Malaki. On the final approach towards Milies, the scenery becomes more extreme, with the crossing of the steel bridge of Taxiarhis, also known as “De Chirico’s Bridge” being the highlight of this last section. Here, some pretty unique engineering is at work. This is a rare occasion where a train crosses a bridge that is straight, but the tracks that lie on it are actually curved! At the end of the route lies Milies station. Traditional guesthouses and taverns await the visitors, while a cobbled stone footpath takes you up the village’s main square (about 15m). Here the guests can visit the church of Taxiarhis, which was constructed before 1741 and the library which is one of the oldest in Greece or visit the museum of folk art. The next opportunity to admire the most scenic railway line in Greece is at 15:00pm when the little train will start its return towards Ano Lehonia.

Απίστευτη διαδρομή μέσα στη φύση. Καλό είναι να ενημερωθείτε για τις μέρες και τα δρομολόγια προτού το επιστεφτείτε.

Η ανάβαση στις όμορφες πλαγιές του Πηλίου μέχρι τις Μηλιές ξεκινά! Μια από τις πιο στενές σιδηροδρομικές γραμμές στον κόσμο (60 εκατοστά) φιλοξενεί τα 4 βαγόνια του «Μουτζούρη», όπως λεγόταν κάποτε το τραινάκι του Πηλίου, για να δηλώσει την ατμοκίνηση και τον καπνό που άφηνε στο πέρασμά του. Από τα Άνω Λεχώνια μέχρι τις Μηλιές η διαδρομή είναι ορεινή, διασχίζοντας τις κατάφυτες πλαγιές, με την πυκνή βλάστηση από πλατάνια και πουρνάρια.
