About the Consulate General of Greece in Alexandria
The Consulate General of Greece in Alexandria represents the Hellenic Republic in one of the oldest and most historically significant centers of Greek life outside Greece itself.

Greek Community in Alexandria, Egypt
Alexandria has one of the most historically significant Greek communities in the world, with a Greek presence dating back to the city's founding by Alexander the Great and flourishing for centuries as a major center of Hellenic culture, scholarship, and commerce. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Alexandria's Greek community grew into one of the largest and wealthiest in the diaspora, leaving a lasting mark on the city's architecture, institutions, and literary history, including its association with the poet Constantine Cavafy. The community declined sharply following the nationalization policies of the 1950s and 1960s, which led most Greek Alexandrians to emigrate. A small community remains today, maintained through Greek Orthodox parishes, schools, and cultural institutions such as the Greek Community of Alexandria. Population estimates for Greeks and people of Greek descent in Alexandria today are modest, generally in the low hundreds to low thousands.
