Nikos Kazantzakis Museum, Biographical museum in Myrtia, Greece.
The Nikos Kazantzakis Museum spans three buildings, featuring manuscripts, personal letters, photographs, and theatrical designs dedicated to the Greek author.
In 1983, Yiorgos Anemoyiannis established this institution on the site of his childhood home, where Kazantzakis frequently visited during his lifetime.
The museum preserves 650 exhibits organized in five sections, including the author's biography, correspondence, theatrical works, novels, and his modern version of Odyssey.
Located 20 kilometers south of Heraklion, the museum opens Monday through Friday and Sunday from 10:00 to 15:00, with admission fees of 6 euros.
The museum maintains an archive of 50,000 items, including donations from Kazantzakis's wife Eleni Samiou-Kazantzakis and comprehensive theatrical documentation.
