It is the most populated village in the entire area and this is not because of the residents’ small number, but because of its very large length of over six kilometers that make it the longest village in the area.

Tsagarada is divided into four districts, each with its own distinctive style and church. These are the Taksiarchon district, Agia Paraskevi, Agios Stefanos and Agia Kyriaki. Each church has its own beauty and its own square with towering plane trees. They are all worth-visiting, together with the 1863 building where the Nanopoulios School was housed.

Milies is in Pelio, in Magnesia.

Milies, which means "apples", is a beautiful village that has played an important role in the history of Greece.

Stroll in the quaint streets, pass by the municipal building that serves as a folklore museum and end up in the square, the real center of the village. Here you will see the Church Pamegiston Taksiarxon, with very distinct architectural features. Built at a time when Christian worship was forbidden, it was constructed so that externally it would look nowhere near a church (the steeple was added much later). Adding to that, the internal structure was so attentive to any kind of sound coming from the inside, especially the psalms and prayers that they could not be heard outside.

After the walk through the village and its attractions, dine in one of the great taverns and have coffee or drinks in cafes and bars. If you want to stay overnight, in Milies you will find excellent hotels and guest houses that will make you feel like home.

Zagora is one of the largest villages in Pelion, with a population of three thousand inhabitants.

Other settlements were later developed around the first, until Zagora acquired its current form in the 16the century. Under the Turkish rule, the area flourished thanks to the privileges it was granted. Trade and silk production were a great economic boost, and even though it is a mountainous village, it had a significant commercial fleet. The results of this prime are visible today, as we walk in the village: Impressive traditional mansions, beautiful fountains and notable public buildings such as the Library and the Greek Museum and the institution attended, among others, by Rigas Fereos and Anthimos Gazis. Zagora is the birthplace of several important Greek personalities, with mostly loved the singer Nikos Gounaris.
