After the Trojan War, Odysseus journeyed for 10 years and against all odds arrived back home to Ithaca. This epic journey was known as his νόστος (nostos) or ‘return’. Like Odysseus, there are many of us diaspora Greeks throughout the world who long to return home. Many of us have ancestors who left Greece for Australia, the United States, Canada or Europe maybe one or two or ten generations ago.

We remain ethnically Greek but are culturally unfamiliar with the modern state of Greece and find it difficult to reconnect. The Nostos Project was founded by diaspora Greeks who have relocated to Athens in order to help others do the same.
