1983 – 2023: The Odyssey of a museum - 40 years in action for The Nikos Kazantzakis Museum!


1956: Nikos Kazantzakis expresses to his wife, Eleni, his desire to collect all his personal items and manuscripts in his birthplace and to create a "Nikos Kazantzakis House".


1976: Giorgos Anemoyiannis, revoking the wishes of his relative Nikos Kazantzakis, decides to grant his house in Myrtia and establish a museum dedicated exclusively to the great writer.


1983: Melina Merkouri, Minister of Culture at the time, inaugurates the Kazantzakis Museum in the presence of many people. A beautiful journey has just begun.


2023: 40 years later, the Nikos Kazantzakis Museum remains active, richer and stronger than ever and is preparing to celebrate its "birthday"!


We are preparing for an anniversary year with many events and actions throughout 2023 to get ready for another 40 years!


So let's start with our anniversary logo!
