Greece Video Map:
Milies ( Pelion Greece - Μηλιές Πηλίου ) is a picturesque village of Mount Pilion, at an altitude of 400 meters, 28 km from Volos in Thessaly. The village is famous from the railway which starts from Volos and ends in Milies, named Moutzouris, constructed in the end of 19th century, characterized as a preservable monument. In 1996, the railway started operation again after repairs and runs 16 km from Ano Lehonia to Milies every weekend, from April to October. The route is one of the most beautiful in Europe, through the lush greenery, the arched bridges, the small tunels, the iron bridge and the great sea view. Another feature of the village is the authentic traditional architecture of the mansions, many of which converted into guesthouses. It is worth visiting the beautiful central square, the old church of Taxiarches with the Byzantine Hagiography and the Public Library with rare books and historical heirlooms.

The Little Train in Pelion - Το Τρενάκι του Πηλιού
Little Train of Pelion
The Pelion miniature railway was a dynamic element of cultural development during the first half of the twentieth century and it greatly influenced the history and environment of Pelion and Magnesia in general.
For 76 years (1895-1971), people and goods traveled on the train, considerably changing the economical and cultural status of the city of Volos and the region as a whole. Inspirational designer and builder of the Pelion railway, under the management of Thessalian Railways, was the Italian engineer Evaristo de Chirico, father of the great artist Giorgio de Chirico.
Using both his knowledge and a great deal of imagination, Evaristo de Chirico designed and, with the help of local craftsmen, constructed one of the most beautiful railway lines in the world. Only 60 cm wide, climbing the slopes of Pelion, mountain of the Centaurs, passing olive groves, deep gullies and gorges, it is a work of art, admired for its sensitivity, morphological harmony and structural perfection.
The Construction
Construction of this railway line began in December 1894 and one year later, on October 12th, the first section, Volos - Lehonia, covering a distance of 13 km, was officially opened. Also completed were the bridge in Anavros and the one spanning Vrihona River, not for from Lehonia, which was the first to be built with fortified cement.
In 1900 the railway line was extended up to Milies and by 1903 this section had been completed.The line from Lehonia to Milies is 16 km long, with28/1000 being the sharpest inclining slope. Technically, the work was extremely difficult because of the many bridges (6 stone bridges with two, three, four and five arches and one Iron Bridge), protective walls, tunnels, aerial pedestrian bridges, all masterpieces of engineering, representing the aesthetic power of the period, when engineering was sensitive to and in perfect harmony with the environment.
Giorgio de Chirico
Giorgio de Chirico was born in the then small town of Volos in 1888 and spent a happy childhood there. His love for his birthplace inspired many conjectural symbolic elements in his painting, particularly in the themes of his metaphysical period. For example, the images of the smudgy little train, the railway stations, the arches, the water towers, the factories, the chimneys, the rails and also Argonauts and Centaurs etc, illustrate the many emotional ties this great artist had with Volos, with both the history of the railway and local mythology and tradition.
Until 1971The train, with its Belgian engines topically named Milies, Iason, Pelion, Volos, Tsagarada, also served the city's needs as a tram, being the only means of public transport during that period. Thus it was bound together with all the great historical moments of this county and came to be loved by everyone. Gradually, however, it was outmoded by the motor car until finally in June 1971, it was abandoned altogether as being uneconomical to run.
The journey Today, and after 25 years of silence, the little train puffs up Pelion Mountain once more at 25 km per hour, thanks to the strenuous efforts of its friends.
At present, it departs from Ano Lehonia (soon the departure point will be Volos itself), climbing the mountain along a dreamlike route through olive groves, and passing the traditional settlements of Ano Gatzea, Agia Triada, Agios Athanassios, Pinakates and Argireika on the way, whistle blowing, until it reaches its final destination at Milies. The passengers are able to enjoy the fantastic view of the sea from the peak of the mountain, and as they travel they can take photographs of the magnificent bridges of De Chirico; the five-arched bridge, or the sturdy iron bridge, unique in Europe.
On reaching the end of the journey, they can also visit the historical library in Milies where they can examine the manuscripts of Anthimos Gazis, Konstanda and others. Finally, the visitors may like to walk up the narrow cobble streets and mountain paths form Milies to Vizitsa, Pinakates or Agios Georgios.They can admire the traditional noblemen's mansions withstanding the passage of time, or visit the old churches and chapels, which, together with the many monasteries are testament to a different era.
In this way, they may then return on the little steam train, having gained an insight into a different quality of life, closer to nature and so much more humane than one may find today.

Lyrics:
Time reversing in fear
with projections in my mind, back again
Bodies sculptured for years
make for vessels bound to store our ego sane
Inner lines that were broken
A pair of eyes will now glue them again
Perfect lies, we freely chewing
Made us captives to our own ball and chain
A thousand hearts in my fridge
Make for a nasty brew that beats, back again
A thousand souls on the run
said I never could have won, without pain

Tsagarada traditional village, Pelion: best of Greece, the land of myths
Tsagarada is located 48km far from Volos through Portaria or 50km through Milies, at an altitude of 500m. It is one of the most famous and touristic villages of Pelion due to its natural beauty as well as to the fact one can finds there many hotels, traditional guest houses and restaurants. There is a very special reason why Ancient Greeks used to call Pelion, the mount of Centaurs....
Its nature is of exceptional beauty. Dense Platanus and Fir forrests decorated with brooks and small waterfalls, make you feel like you are crossing a fairy-land.
Picturesque villages maintain the old local archtecture, houses with stone roofs and bloomy frontyards
In Greek mythology, Centaurus is the father of the race of mythological beasts known as the centaurs or Ixionidae. The centaurs are half-man, half horse; having the torso of a man extending where the neck of a horse should be. They were said to be wild, savage, and lustful.
When you mention Volos, Mount Pelion is the first destination that comes to mind. The mountain has relatively low levels of wilderness and elevation. Its highest summit, Stavros, is 1.624 metres, stretching for approximately 50 Km. Mount Pelion forms a natural borderline between the district of Magnesia and the Aegean Sea.
Its soft slopes and easily accessed peaks make Mount Pelion a popular destination for hiking lovers and weekend mountain climbers. Two mountain shelters, the one at Agriolefkes and the other at Agios Georgios of Zagora host weary climbers and hikers. In Agriolefkes, near Hania, there is also a skiing resort for skiing lovers, whereas an abundance of mountain routes and trails are ideal for mountain biking and horseback riding.
One gains an exhilarating experience all year round when visiting Mount Pelion or its traditional villages, whether it’s in mid-winter when everything is covered in snow, or in spring or summer when colourful wild flowers cover its slopes, which are full of fir, chestnut, oak and beech trees.
Cosmopolitan Portaria
Portaria is one of the most cosmopolitan villages of Pelion, bustling with life since it hosts visitors throughout the year. Situated at the foot of Mount Pelion, it’s the first village one gets to from Volos. Its popularity as a travel destination and its accompanying cosmopolitanism spring from its vicinity both to a skiing resort and also to the sea. Luxurious hotels, traditional hostels, rooms to let, restaurants and tavernas, coffee shops, bars, and shops selling souvenirs and traditional folk art items meet all visitors’ tastes and needs.
Cultural Zagora
Zagora is situated on the eastern slopes of Mount Pelion, with a great view to the Aegean. A densely-populated village, Zagora consists of four districts, all meeting around the central square of Ag. Georgios, having taken its name after the adjacent small church, famous for its excellent altarpiece. This very square also hosts, since the end of 18th century, the famous Public Library, which nowadays operates as a lending library with many and great, rare books, while there is also a reading room within its premises.
At a short distance visit Drakopoulou Mansion, which houses on its ground-floor, the food preparation facilities of the Women’s Agrotourism Cooperative of Zagora. This is where nature meets tradition, since the thriving orchards of the surrounding area offers abundant citrus-trees, essential ingredient of many delicacies, such as spoon sweets, home-made marmalades and liqueurs, the recipes of which have been handed down from older generations. Treat yourself one of these delicacies after a hard going hiking so to get some of your strength back or get some to treat your beloved ones back home.
Elegant Tsagkarada
Tsagkarada lies 500m above sea level on the eastern side of Mt. Pelion, along a densely wooded area, looking out to the Aegean. Here, nature is dominant with chestnut and plane trees, being twisted around every single old and new construction of the sparsely-populated village. Treat yourself a cup of coffee at the central square of Agia Paraskevi, where the great Plane Tree counts a life of at least ten centuries. One of the things a visitor should see exiting the village is the arch bridge constructed by builders from Epirus. Some historic sites of special interest are also the Achillopouleios Commercial School and the Nanopouleios School. Before departing don’t forget to gather mushrooms as well as chestnuts or join the Chestnut Festival held in November, if you happen to be around.

A Writer at Work / The Legend of Annie Christmas / When the Mountain Fell
Amanda Randolph (September 2, 1896 -- August 24, 1967) was an American actress and singer. She was a native of Louisville, Kentucky, and was the older sister of actress Lillian Randolph. She was the first African-American performer to star in a regularly scheduled network television show, appearing in DuMont's The Laytons. This short-lived program was on the air two months in 1948.
Her film career began in 1936 with Black Network. She went on to do several Oscar Micheaux films, among them: Swing, Lying Lips and The Notorious Elinor Lee. Broadway roles in The Male Animal and Harlem Cavalcade soon followed. Around the same time, Randolph broke into radio, helped by people she met at The Clam House, who got her a CBS audition. She began working on various radio shows: Young Dr. Malone, Romance of Helen Trent and Big Sister. Amanda went on to become a regular cast member on Abie's Irish Rose, Kitty Foyle, and Miss Hattie with Ethel Barrymore, where she had the role of Venus. Amanda also appeared on Rudy Vallée's radio show and on Grand Central Station.
She continued working in films to the 1960s, and was one of the first black women to become a comedy favorite on television. She briefly starred in her own daytime musical TV program for DuMont, Amanda, during the 1948 - 1949 season, making her the first African-American woman with her own show on daytime television.[55][56] Randolph did not settle in California until 1949, when she earned a role in Sidney Poitier's No Way Out. Even though she was working in New York and her younger sister, Lillian, had been working in Hollywood for some time, newspapers often got the two sisters mixed up, doing a story on Amanda but with a photo of Lillian and vice-versa. She then became a regular on the top early black TV show of the decade, Amos 'n' Andy, as Sapphire's mother, Ramona Smith, from 1951 to 1953; she also played the same role for the show's radio version from 1951 to 1954.[57] Amanda was now working with her sister, Lillian, who played Madame Queen on the radio and television shows.[15] She was the star and titular character in Beulah from 1953 to 1954, assuming the role from Lillian. Randolph also did some work for radio in 1956, playing the role of the folk heroine Annie Christmas in The Legend of Annie Christmas. She also had a recurring role as Louise the maid on CBS's The Danny Thomas Show and appeared in the show's 1967 reunion. (The show was aired shortly after her death.) She guest starred on the NBC anthology series, The Barbara Stanwyck Show. In 1955, Amanda opened a restaurant in Los Angeles called Mama's Place, where she did the cooking.
Despite all her film and television work, Amanda found herself slightly short of the requirements for a much-needed Screen Actors Guild pension at age 70; both sisters struggled for roles in the late 1930s. A role was written for her to gain eligibility.
