POINT FOR CYCLING IN PELION

            The most popular routes are mainly on narrow forest and rural roads with lush vegetation, as well as on the old lines on the historic Pelion train, the legendary “Moutzouris”. This route is ideal for cycling, as the narrow low of the railway line is ideal for the cyclist to gain altitude without getting too tired. Along the way you will find stone bridges and arched arches.
