Greek-cypriot film director Michael Cacoyannis, best known for the hit film "Zorba the Greek", died in Athens on Monday aged 89, his cultural foundation said.
"Mr Cacoyannis died today in the early hours," a foundation official said.
The director died at the central Evangelismos hospital where he was admitted 10 days ago, the Ana press agency reported.
Born in Cyprus on June 11, 1922, Cacoyannis shot to fame with the triple-Oscar winning "Zorba the Greek" in 1964, an adaptation of the Nikos Kazantzakis-penned novel which starred Anthony Quinn, Alan Bates and Irene Pappas among others.
