An Athens paper visits the president and his council
14 November 1963 Proven
The evening paper Vradyni publishes a report on Myloi and its wishes: a longer harbour, the coastal road to Nafplio, a community office, a doctor's surgery and a museum. It names the council: Chr. Papagiannis (president), Io. Kouvaras, K. Gavros, G. Lymperopoulos, P. Syreggelas and Chr. Koutouzos.
Note: The paper says Myloi had "eight hundred inhabitants"; the census of 1961 counted 503 in the village and 673 in the whole community.
