The "Milos Conference Center - George Eliopoulos" has been established by Mrs Kitty Kyriacopoulos in her father's memory, and is located at Adamas, the island's main port, on a 10,000 sq. meters plot.

It is housed in an old kaolin processing plant, built in 1925, which is overlooking the gulf of Milos. It is an excellent sample of its period's industrial architecture, abandoned and derelict for many years, it was falling apart before becoming the property of ORYMIL S.A., a company belonging to Mrs. Kitty Kyriacopoulos.

The ruin was fully restored with high aesthetical standards and respect to its original architecture. Today the edifice is used as the home for conferences, cultural and other events, solving thus one of the Island's perennial problems, the lack of modern large multipurpose halls.

The Conference Center plays a major role in further upgrading the Island's cultural life, since it hosts not only conferences, conventions and symposia, but theatrical, musical and other artistic events as well. At the same time the Center assists in attracting to the island, alternative high quality types of tourism.

The "Milos Conference Center - George Eliopoulos" is operated by a non profit organization financed by the founder of the Center Mrs Kitty Kyriacopoulos, reflecting her commitment to contribute to the development of Milos.

The "Milos Conference Center - George Eliopoulos" is located at Adamas, the island's main port, on a 10,000 sq. meters plot, overlooking to the gulf of Milos.

The "Milos Conference Center - George Eliopoulos" has brought to Milos a never known before cultural atmosphere. In a very short time, after its inauguration 1st July 2000, the Center has attracted a large number of events, such as conferences and meetings, as well as concerts, theatrical performances, etc., which would not be possible to take place without its existence.

At an average of over 5.000 Conferees and event partakers in general are passing the doors of the Center yearly.
