In a reproduced escape narrative, George Mylonas recounts fleeing his Greek political exile on Amorgos by yacht on the morning of 2 October, timed once he learned (via a Paris radio broadcast of "The Prisoner of Amorgos" heard the preceding Saturday) that authorities were aware of the plan. He notes he had eaten his midday meal at the same tavern every day since arriving on Amorgos over a year earlier, placing the start of his exile before October 1968.
