ABSTRACT:
This study deals with the places, where Constantine Cavafy lived and created. Its purpose is to promote his work, through the creation of mapped cultural literary paths, in the footsteps of the Alexandrian poet and writer. Cavafy’s poetry has withstood the test of time, as it is always relevant, because it can always be read, in such a way, as to force the reader to reflect on the problems of his time. His work attempts to capture, but mainly to interpret, historically, this key time, in order to make everybody understand the endurance of Cavafy’s poetry over time. This article, recognizing the author as a timeless tourist product, attempts to promote the cultural heritage around his name, in order to promote the tourist exploitation of the places that marked his course.

KEY WORDS: literary routes, route mapping, Cavafy Museum, Onassis Foundation.
