Acropole Hotel

The Acropole is the oldest existing hotel in Khartoum, that has been in service without interruption. It was founded in 1952 by Panagiotis Pagoulatos from Cephalonia, who had left war-torn Greece during WWII, and his wife Flora, who was from the community of the Greeks in Egypt, specifically from Alexandria. Since there was a sizeable community of Greeks in Sudan at the time as well, the couple settled in the Anglo-Egyptian colony. The Washington Post writes:
