A small and cute museum, ex house of the big poet. For people who love Cavafy, it is a very nice place with a great collection of his works. It is not very easy to find it as there are no signs but if you are lucky you will meet a very kind local man (sells cute souvenirs) who will show you the staircase to the museum. As Greeks, we were truly enthusiastic that the man in the museum speaks Greek!

Constantine P. Cavafy is most probably my favorite poet so you can imagine my excitement when visiting his former home where he lived for the last 25 years of his life. I was pretty much awe struck, knowing that this was the street he often walked along, standing at the window’s he often stood at, looking out into his beloved Alexandria. Most of his furniture - seen in the old photo’s of the apartment - have gone although there still are alot of beautiful pieces, along with many writings and photos. Unfortunately they do not sell any books. The museum didn’t have much in English so I recommend using a translation app to scan the text into the language that you need. On the day I visited it was free although gave a donation. If you are trying to tap into a former vision of Alexandria, a former century, nostalgia, then you will find it here.
