2 Mount Pelion A mountain at the southeastern part of Thessaly in central Greece, forming a peninsula in hook-shape between the Pagasetic Gulf and the Aegean Sea. The western part of mount Pelion is full with olive trees

3 Ano Gatzea winter Agios Georgios summertime among the famous 24 villages of Mount Pelion «Agios Georgios ~600 m altitude is divided into two villages : 1. Ano Gatzea for the winter (as there a lot of secondary houses named kalivia were built for the period of olive harvest that finally became the winter centre of the village) 2. Agios Georgios for the summertime

4 End of 19 th century The train line* Cultural and economic development of Pelion Lack of transport infrastructure. Only ways to travel were mule-tracks, footpaths and cobbled paths Usual mean of transport was the pack-animals In 1889 it was decided to construct a railway network to directly connect the city of Volos to the Mount Pelion One of the urgent needs for this network was the olive-crop production that needed to be transported fast and in a reliable way to the port Construction began in 1892 and in 1896 the first part of the line, Volos - Ano Lehonia had been delivered The rest, all the way up to Milies would have to wait for 1903 The chief engineer of the project was Evaristo De Chirico, father to the well known painter and sculptor Giorgio De Chirico, who was born in Volos. * 60cm gauge line, one of the narrowest in the world

5 20 th century A little train named Mountzouris The train was known as Mountzouris, common Greek nickname reserved for someone who turns things black, obvious choice in the days of steam The railway reduced the operational cost and made the transportation of products secure Pelion agriculture turned into a competitive market in Greece and abroad olives de Volos The post-war years, as the road network on Pelion was completed the train started to decline In 1951, the only settlements still dependent to the train were the Ano Gatzea and Pinakates The train was finally abolished by the dictatorship on 21st of June 1971, because it was considered uneconomical

6 Today The train line From Ano Lehonia to Milies Normally operates from spring till autumn (weekends) Every day from 15 th July 31 August During this period one cyclical trip is made in the mountainous part of the line, which is the only segment currently in operation. The running time is 1h 30m (including a 15m stop at the scenic station of Ano Gatzeae)

7 The Olive and Ano Gatzea Train Station
