The wife of Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Betty Baziana laid flowers at the grave of Alexis Zorbas buried in Skopje. Alexis Zorbas whose real first name was “Georgios” was the inspiration for the famous novel of Cretan author Nikos Kazantzakis “Zorba the Greek” and the fictionalized version of mine worker, Georgios Zorbas.
Betty Baziana visited the grave and laid a few red tulips right after her arrival in the North-Macedonian capital on Tuesday morning, where the Prime Minister is paying an official visit.
Zorbas’ grave in Butel cemetery was discovered in 1997.
Zorbas migrated to Skopje in 1930.
“One morning we separated. He moved to the North,” Nikos Kazantakis wrote in his book about Zorbas.
Giorgios Zorbas was a miner, born in 1865 in Kolindros by Thessaloniki under the Ottoman rule. After several jobs in close and broader area in North Greece, he decided to become a monk and left for the Monok’s Republic Mount Athos in 1915.
It was there that he met Nikos Kazantzakis and they became close friends.
Together they went to Mani, South Peloponnese, where they worked as miners in Prastova.
It was their experiences here that Kazantzakis later wrote into The Life and Times of Alexis Zorbas. It is the tale of a young Greek intellectual who ventures to escape his bookish life with the aid of the boisterous and mysterious Alexis Zorba,

It was short after 10 o’ clock on Saturday morning when Mediterranean Cyclone Zorbas stroke the Prefecture of Messinia in South-West Peloponnese, in South Greece.
“Initially it was just rough sea, when suddenly strong wind started to blow and rain fell,” a local reporter said.
In the Gulf of Messinia, winds have been blowing with gusts above 8 Beaufort.
Foinikounta, Kalamata, Navarino, Gytheio, Gerolimenas and other coastal areas have been hit by the Medicane.
