Bust of Nikos Kazantzakis in Aegina Town
On the beach of Avra, visitors can see the bust of Nikos Kazantzakis in Aegina Town, a monument in honor of the great Greek writer who lived and deeply loved the island.
Aegina inspired him and that is why he chose it as his place of residence for some years. The house of Nikos Kazantzakis, built in 1936, is located in the area of Plakakia, very close to the port heading north. Just imagine that in this house, the great writer was inspired to compose some of his most important works (the Odyssey was one of them)!
