Milies in Magnesia

Milies in Magnesia

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. Here was founded the famous "School of Milies", an important spiritual center of the time. Besides, one of the school's founders, Anthimos Gazis who belonged to the Society of Friends, declared the official start of the revolution in Pelion, in Milies on May 7, 1821.

Today the visitor can reach Milies in 3 ways. The classic choice is by car or any other vehicle. The second highly proposed by us and extremely picturesque, is the renowned train of Pelion, the famous "Moutzouri" terminating his route at the village. For the more resistant, there is also the choice of hiking, following the path that connects Milies to Kala Nera. No matter what you choose, upon arriving to Milies you will be rewarded.

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.
