Educational Programs by the Nikos Kazantzakis Museum for the 2025–2026 school year
Since its foundation, the Educational Programs Department











The Nikos Kazantzakis Museum is located in the central square of the ancestral village of Nikos Kazantzakis, the historical Varvari (today’s Myrtia).
The Permanent Exhibition of the Museum is housed in a space, which was formed where the ancestral home of the Anemoyiannis family, a family related to Kapetan Michalis, the author’s father, was located.
The purpose of the Nikos Kazantzakis Museum is not only the preservation and exhibition of its collections but also the provision of a museum experience that combines education with entertainment, placing the visitor at the center of interest. Additionally, a fundamental goal of the Museum is to enhance its educational role.
To achieve this goal, the Educational Activities Department organizes a comprehensive program of activities aimed at different age groups (adults, children, teenagers, families, people with disabilities).
