Overview

Begin in Vizitsa, one of Pelion’s finest examples of traditional architecture. Wander through cobblestone lanes framed by restored stone mansions as your guide shares stories of village life.

Continue to Milies, a historic cultural and intellectual center of the region. Enjoy time in the shaded main square beneath centuries-old plane trees, and learn about Milies’ role in education, commerce, and local governance. A short stop at the historic Pelion Steam Train Station introduces the story of the narrow-gauge railway that once linked the mountain villages to the coast and played a vital role in Pelion’s development.

Conclude your journey at the Voliotis Olive Mill, where traditional olive oil production methods are preserved. Learn how olives were processed using stone mills and mechanical presses, then enjoy a guided olive oil tasting, discovering the flavors and aromas that define Pelion’s culinary heritage.
