Even today, Milies remains a creative refuge for artists and literary people.

It is one of the most authentic of the Pelioritic villages.

Now it runs from Volos to Milies through lush green valleys, narrow gorges, into small tunnels and over arched bridges.

There is a long iron bridge as you approach Milies Station, and it is close to here, according to myth, that Chiron the Centaur had his cave.

Vizitsa is another village in the Pelion style with many mansions built of stone and stucco.
Stone walls and cobbled paths blend in with the surrounding nature to make a harmonious whole.

Also in this area are the villages of Pinakates, built in the style
of Northern Greece, and Drakia, which was built by master craftsman from Epirus
in Western Greece.

All three of these villages, despite their different styles, manage to form a harmony with their surroundings that is not found in our modern way of building.
