Cavafy Museum

In 1991, Kostis Moskof, who was then cultural attaché at the Greek Embassy in Cairo, had the initiative of the conversion of Cavafy's apartment into a museum.

The first nine-year lease of the apartment was signed on behalf of the Greek State by the then Consul General of Greece in Alexandria Panayotis D. Cangelaris.

The apartment was inaugurated and opened to the public on 16 November 1992 by the then Deputy Minister for National Education and Religious Affairs, Vyron Polydoras.

[3] The poet and his living place were mentioned many times in Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet,[4] and Where the Tigers Were: Travels through Literary Landscapes by Don Meredith.

The apartment has many published books and papers on the author, including many translations in Greek, Arabic, English and other 15 languages, and more than 3,000 scholarly articles.
