The Mount Pelion Train : Thematic rail transport to enhance cultural identity of rural areas

How to offer a true, historical and cultural experience to tourists through a traditional (Greek) train ride? Thessaly region, in Greece, has restored a purely thematic, touristic train ride that supports entrepreneurship and offers opportunities to people in many sectors, being part of the backbone of a regional tourism strategy. It operates regularly from April to October and on-demand throughout the rest of the year, depending on the weather. Modern wooden wagons and high technology, but with a traditional exterior, engines are being used to increase the cultural feeling of the ride.

The Mount Pelion Train is a Good Practice of the project Move on Green.
