Buddhism has influenced Greek literary tradition to some extent, as evident in the works of Nikos Kazantzakis.[1]

Present day
There are many Buddhist centers in Greece, four centers founded by the Diamond Way and other centers in cities such as Athens, Thessaloniki, and Rhodes. There are also Buddhist retreats in Corinth and on Mount Olympus, and nine stupas.
