Taking the Pelion Railway is a bad idea! If you can, do it by bike! Otherwise, hike. The village with its stone church is worth seeing. There's a small café right next door where you can relax. You should definitely continue by bike.

Try to continue towards Pinakates and Agios Vlasios. After that down to Ano Lechonia, from where the Pelion train starts. Via the coastal road back to Kato Gatzea/Kala Nera
