In modern times the official 1907 census showed 62,973 Greeks living in Egypt . The expulsion of 2.5 million Greeks from Turkey saw a large number of those Greeks move to Egypt and by 1940 Greeks were numbered at around 500,000 . Today the Greek community numbers officially about 3,000 people although the real number is much higher since many Greeks have changed their nationality to Egyptian . In Alexandria , apart from the patriarchate , there is a patriarchal theology school that opened recently after being closed for 480 years . Saint Nicolas church and several other buildings in Alexandria have been recently renovated by the Greek Government and the Alexander S. Onassis Foundation
