'''Milies''' (Greek: ________??) is a village and a municipality on Mt. Pelion in Greece. It is a traditional Greek mountain village, at a height of 400 m. It is 28 km from Volos, the capital city of the prefecture of Magnesia. Milies is connected with the GR-34A (Volos - Promyri) It has traditional stone houses, cobbled roads, good restaurants and accommodation in abundance. Milies is also notable for being the terminus of the narrow gauge (60 cm) Pelion Railway, built by the Italian engineer, Evaristo de Chirico, between 1895 and 1903. This proved to be of considerable economic advantage to the region. Recently restored from Ano Lechonia to Milies (16 km), trains run twice a week at the weekend. The village commands striking views across the Pagasitikos Gulf and benefits from the many streams and water sources that Mt. Pelion is renowned for. These result in rich vegetation and cool, forested mountain slopes.
