The tower of Vassilopoula from the daughter of a lord who lived there it is said that there was an underground passage that connected the tower to the beach, from where the queen descended to bathe undisturbed. There are 2 versions about this. One says that the queen was very beautiful and difficult to approach, and the other version that she was very ugly, so she took care to hide.
If you are in the area, it is also worth visiting the railway station, which opened in 1886 and closed in 2010, when a certain line stopped operating. Corinth-Argos,-Tripoli-Kalamata.
There were also train lines that started from 2 points on the coastline of the mili village and ended at the station lines. Some pieces of them still exist today. On them they transported goods that were brought by ships and placed them in train cars to supply other areas. At the station you can admire these old trains which hopefully will be preserved and will be nice exhibits for a future museum that tells why it will be created. It should also be pointed out that there is also the historic carriage of the screws that carried the bones of Theodoros Kolokotronis.
