FAMILY EXPERIENCES & GUIDED TOURS FOR KIDS

Tour #1 "Adventure at Chiron's Cave" (near Milies Pelion Train Station)

Ready for an adventure that takes you through the green slopes of Mount Pelion and then underneath it?

Walk through beautiful olive groves and colorful fields, experience the enchanting forest sounds, and see where the centaur Chiron lived and where the famous wedding of Peleus and Thetis took place!

Going to the cave, you have to mark your way and complete certain tasks. Once inside the cave, you will be given a flashlight to start exploring. Find the stalactites and stalagmites and win a set of stickers! This tour is ideal for kids who love adventure, outdoor activities, and Greek Mythology. 

Activity Duration: 1 hour

Tour #2 "Forbidden Forest Scavenger Hunt" (at the Trail of the Centaurs near Portaria)*

Harry Potter and the other Hogwarts students may not be allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest to see the Centaurs, but you can walk the “official” Trail of the Centaurs on Mount Pelion and look for objects for your scavenger hunt. If you get to the end of the trail and find all the objects, you are rewarded with stickers!

This tour is designed for families with kids who love nature and want to have fun while hiking a mountain trail of moderate difficulty.

Kids get active and learn about Greek mythology, plants, and trees. 

Activity Duration: 1 hour   

Tour #3 "Building Family Memories" (at the Rooftile and Brickworks Museum, Volos)*

Hop on the train’s steam engine and start exploring the fascinating world of an old brick & tile factory that is now a museum of itself.

Run around the huge “frying pans” and climb up the big ramp. The view from here is amazing! Walk on the glass floor on top of a huge mixer and set the belt in motion, before you run down the long corridors where bricks and tiles were placed to dry. Finally, enter the castle-kiln! Find the open gate and let everyone in! Ooops! When inside, the kiln looks like a maze!

This guided tour of the Rooftile and Brickworks Museum is a unique family experience that will walk kids through the factory production line in an interactive & fun way.  

Activity Duration: 1 hour
