Dear Medical Professionals,

It is a special joy and honour for Rhodes to host the 21st SIS World Congress on Breast Cancer & Breast Healthcare on 3–6 May 2023, under the Presidency of Pr Lydia Ioannidou-Mouzaka. The Congress is under the Auspices οf the H.E. of the President of the Hellenic Republic, Mrs Katerina Sakellaropoulou and His All Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Mr Vartholomeos 1st and with the support of the Municipality of Rhodes island.

Rhodes it is a top destination for Congresses worldwide for the last decades, fulfilling the most demanding selection criteria. A precious “emerald” in the deep blue Aegean, the “Island of the Knights”, with a unique geographical location as a historical crossroads of civilizations, is consistently among the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean and one of the most emblematic destination in Greece.

With direct international air connectivity and a state-of-the-art airport, Rhodes combines sun and sea with gastronomy, rich culture, unique natural beauty and a wide range of entertainment and leisure activities. It has excellent hotel infrastructure and conference venues that have hosted world leaders, top events, international conferences and highprofile exhibitions. And above all, having the hospitality in their DNA, Rhodians welcome friends and not just visitors.

Rhodes is looking forward to welcoming you and hosting you, in its own unique “smiling” way. Holding the “21st SIS World Congress on Breast Cancer and Breast Healthcare” at the early summer of 2023, is an ideal opportunity to combine your scientific work with unique experience of authentic Greek hospitality.

For every visitor honouring us with their choice, we feel the obligation to return the same trust as a local community and doing our best. Seeing you in May 2023…
