International events marking the 50th anniversary of the death of celebrated writer Nikos Kazantzakis began on Saturday night in Alexandria, the ancient port city frequently lauded in the Cretan author’s works.
The event, held at the Greek Cultural Foundation of Alexandria, Egypt, centred on Kazantzakis’ “searching spirit”, as he travelled almost everywhere in world.
Council of Overseas Hellenism President Stefanos Tamvakis and Greek Ambassador to Egypt Panayiotis Vlassopoulos, among others, were present at the event.
