Welcome to the Kastellorizian Association of Victoria Inc.
For almost 100 years ‘The Kastellorizian Association of Victoria’ has supported the welfare of Kastellorizians and Greeks in Victoria. We are proud of our legacy and the goodwill of our community that is truly committed to the support and welfare of diaspora Kastellorizians, Greeks and the wider community.
We are proud to also support the preservation of Kastellorizian heritage and the continuation of Greek culture as a part of our vibrant multicultural society. This encourages our youth and future generations to continue the traditions of the association in supporting those less fortunate in the spirit of the island’s symbol that represents ‘faith, hope and charity’.

Kastellorizian of the Year, 2024
We are thrilled to announce that Melbourne-based Nicolas Paul Zervos has been announced as 2024 Kastellorizian of the Year. We look forward to celebrating his achievements with the Kazzie community at the KOY Gala Dinner on Saturday 12 October.
Nicolas was born in Melbourne to Paul and Peggy (nee Spartels) Zervos. He grew up immersed in the Kastellorizian and Greek communities of Melbourne and beginning with his university days has remained active in these communities throughout his professional and personal life. After studying Law and Commerce at the University of Melbourne, in 1980 Nicolas was admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Victoria and the High Court of Australia. Nicolas is married to Georgia Skliros and they have two children, Paul and Diandra.
