Cavafy Archive

An archive open to all

Located on Frynichou Street in Plaka, the Cavafy Archive is more than a museum. It houses the personal and work archive of the Alexandrian poet, along with 966 books from his library, and contemporary creations by internationally acclaimed artists from New York to Athens. It is a living archive that continues to grow and evolve.

The venue showcases Cavafy’s manuscripts and books, as well as his personal belongings and furniture, alongside a curated selection of artworks that illuminate his ever-growing influence on artists from his time to the present day.

All visits to the Cavafy Archive for research purposes are scheduled upon submitting a request on this contact form, except on days when the space is open to the public.
