Georgios Mylonas (Greek: Γεώργιος Αλεξάνδρου Μυλωνάς, April 6, 1919 – February 14, 1998) was a Greek Center Union politician and government minister. He was a close aide to Greek statesman and premier George Papandreou, and was repeatedly elected deputy for the Ioannina seat with the Center Union. Mylonas had served as an undersecretary to the premier's office and education undersecretary from 1963 to 1965. He assumed the transport ministry in the first post-junta government in 1974 and was Minister for Culture from 1989 to 1990. Mylonas was the author of the book Escape From Amorgos[1], detailing his escape from the island, where he was exiled during the 1967-74 military dictatorship. The escape was organized by his then, son in law Elias B.M. Kulukundris and his daughter Eleni Mylonas with the help of Maria Becket.
