Katakouzenos House Museum

The Angelos and Leto Katakouzenos Residence, located in the heart of Athens on Amalias Avenue, was one of the most important literary salons of the 1930s. Angelos and Leto Katakouzenos actively welcomed key figures of Greece’s intellectual and artistic scene, including Nobel Laureates George Seferis and Odysseas Elytis, as well as poet Andreas Embirikos. Renowned scientists and respected European and American visitors frequently gathered at this historic Athens apartment to engage in cultural discussions and enjoy the iconic view of the Acropolis and the Hellenic Parliament.

Today, the Katakouzenos Residence operates as a cultural and educational house museum in Athens, open to the public. It offers visitors a unique experience of Greece’s modern cultural heritage through its original furnishings, rare artwork, and intimate atmosphere. A standout feature of the apartment is the set of painted doors by the acclaimed Greek artist Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika, which enhance the museum’s artistic and historical significance.
