Milies is a historic mountain village in southern Pelion, where the regional uprising of 1821 against Ottoman rule began. The village has an 18th-century historical library holding thousands of rare old books, the Taxiarches Church covered in frescoes, and a folk museum. Below the village is the terminus of the Pelion narrow-gauge train. Once the train pulls in, you can unwind at the station café before following the cobbled path up to the village. Milies is about 30 km from Volos, with direct buses.
