Owner Leontios started this nonprofit educational and cultural association as a teaching base for the children of immigrants. These days the Mill has a multicultural purpose, showing films, staging the occasional concert and providing a large, comfortable space for wi-fi use, board games, reading (there is an extensive library) or just socialising. There is a modest bar for light snacks and drinks.
