(Excerpt from the book ‘The Greek community in Mozambique’)
Although the Greek presence in Mozambique dates back to the 1880s, the first organised effort to establish a community took place in the late 19th century in the city of Beira. Greeks from Lemnos and Kasos were the pioneers in this initiative. In 1902, in the hall of the hotel ‘Victoria’ which belonged to Costas Piperis from Kasos, the ‘Greek Community of Beira’ was founded.
