Nikos E. Milioris (Greek: Νίκος Ε. Μηλιώρης; 1896–1983) was a Greek author and senior military officer.

Biography

Milioris was born in Urla, Ottoman Empire (in present-day Turkey), to a local Greek family. He was educated at the Evangelical School of Smyrna, and following his graduation worked in his hometown as a secretary and an accountant. A few years later he moved to Greece, and joined the Hellenic Army.

After the end of the Greco-Turkish War and the following population exchange between Greece and Turkey, Milioris settled with his family in Athens as refugees while his father was killed earlier in Asia Minor. Milioris retired from service in 1952 with the rank of colonel.

The following years, Milioris established himself as a prolific writer of books, articles and studies about the history and cultural heritage of Asia Minor Greeks and their descendants. Moreover, he was an active member of several cultural organisations, groups and associations, and also editor of magazines and newspapers about Asia Minor.

Milioris died on 3 August 1983 in Athens. His wife, Rita Miliori, was also an author.
