Excursion Pelion scenic vintage train tour at Volos

This half-day tour rides the historic “Moutzouris” vintage train across the lower slopes of Mount Pelion.

Ano Lehonia, Vintage Wooden Train, Pagasetic Gulf, Pelion Landscape

Depart from the pier in Volos and travel by coach on a short drive to Ano Lehonia, the starting station of Pelion’s famed narrow-gauge line. Board the vintage wooden train for a leisurely mountain run toward Milies, passing terraced olive groves, arched stone bridges, and traditional hamlets such as Ano Gatzea, Agia Triada, Agios Athanasios, Pinakates, and Argireika. Large windows and open carriages frame changing views of the Pagasetic Gulf and the lush Pelion landscape.

Milies’ Cobbled Lanes

On arrival in Milies, join your guide for a walk through the village’s cobbled lanes, with time to browse, take photographs, or simply enjoy the atmosphere in the plane-tree-shaded square. Reboard your coach for the one hour drive back to the pier, rounding off a classic Pelion rail experience.
