THE LEIGH FERMOR HOUSE

Patrick and Joan Leigh Fermor loved and admired Greece and decided to build their home in Kardamyli, Mani where they would live for the rest of their lives. In 1996, they donated their house to the Benaki Museum, in order to contribute to the Museum’s mission and with the expressed desire that the house will remain open to the public and host researchers. The operation of the Leigh Fermor House includes residencies and educational activities in collaboration with partner Universities as well as scheduled visits and specially organized events open for the public.
