Milina is a small village with traditional houses by the sea, in Pelion. It attracts tourists, from villages in the area, mainly during the summer. A reformation of the waterfront is proposed to add more public space in front of the sea.

New activities are also proposed for recreational purposes, mostly referring to the summer tourist period.
