OUR STORY

Working on preserving, cherishing and promoting Egyptiotic Hellenism

ABOUT

Our Roots, Our History, Our Goals

The Nikitaridis Archive is a private, family operated collection and platform for research which aims to unite all things Egyptiotic. The Nikitaridis Archive knows that the history of Greeks in the land of the Nile, is important, interesting and unusual. We love researching and curating Greek Egyptian heritage, and we aim to preserve what exists for future generations of researchers, dreamers and Egyptiots. With tens of thousands of items of Greco-Egyptian history, we consider ourselves keepers of the uniquely beautiful story of Greek Egypt.

Greek Author Nikos Nikitaridis

Nikos Nikitaridis is a Greek author of poetry, short stories, and over 2.500 publications of every kind in Greece, Egypt and Australia. He has given countless lectures around the history of Greeks in Egypt, and as a member of the Greek Literature Company, he has won two first-place poetry awards, as well as an honorary mention in story writing in South Africa. Nikos Nikitaridis has published nearly thirty books, mostly on the history of Greek presence in Egypt, and all of them have been donated in their entirety to charity. For this, and his immense contribution to Egyptiotic Hellenism, he has been awarded the Holy Cross of the Apostle and Evangelist Mark by His Divine Beatitude the Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa, Theodor II. In 2019 the Patriarch said of him: 'He is the man who, through his writing, has saved all things the Greeks did in the land of the Nile from being forgotten forever.'
