Public Library of Milies

The Public Library of Milies is situated in the village of Milies on Mount Pelion, 26 km from the city of Volos. It is housed in a building erected in 1928 near the village square and the historical church of Aghii Taxiarches, as a result of a donation made by the Miliote Crystallia Ikonomaki, in memory of her husband George.
The Library is historically tied to the famous School of Milies, inaugurated in 1815, which is in turn linked with three major scholars: Αnthimos Gazis, Grigorios Konstantas and Daniel Philippides, all born in Milies.
There are today 3.355 books of old print, as well as 116 manuscripts, 1000 loose documents and objects of particular interest belonging to the Milies School.

Olive & Oil Museum of Pelion 

The Pelion mountain Olive Museum is located in Ano Gatzea, at the ground floor of a traditional house in the main square of Ano Gatzea’s railway station. The house was built in 1924 by Ioannis Vogiatzis.
The first floor housed the family in the winter time while the ground floor was intended for farming jobs that mostly concerned olive picking etc.
The museum displays various objects that were found on site, as a small industry of picking, processing and production of olives was operating there.
The museum operates while the Pilion train (Moutzouris) makes a stop in Ano Gatzea. Alternatively, visitors can arrange a tour by calling +302423022009, mouseioelias.wordpress.com, info@mouseioelias.gr
