His house at [[Pangrati]] district of central [[Athens]], just next to the [[Panathinaiko Stadium]] of Athens, still stands today at Agras Street.

There are commemorative [[blue plaque]]s on two of his London homes – 51 Upper Brook Street (residence of the Greek Ambassador),<ref>{{openplaque|1}}</ref> and at 7 [[Sloane Avenue]].

In 1999, there was a dispute over the naming of a street in İzmir ''Yorgos Seferis Sokagi'' due to continuing ill-feeling over the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922)|Greco-Turkish War]] in the early 1920s.

In 2004, the band Sigmatropic released "16 Haiku & Other Stories," an album dedicated to and lyrically derived from Seferis's work. Vocalists included recording artists [[Laetitia Sadier]], [[Alejandro Escovedo]], [[Cat Power]], and [[Robert Wyatt]]. Seferis's famous [[stanza]] from ''Mythistorema'' was featured in the Opening Ceremony of the [[2004 Athens Olympic Games]]:

''I woke with this marble head in my hands;''<br />
''It exhausts my elbows and I don't know where to put it down.''<br />
''It was falling into the dream as I was coming out of the dream.''<br />
''So our life became one and it will be very difficult for it to separate again.''

[[Stephen King]] quotes several of Seferis's poems as epigraphs in his 1975 novel ''[['Salem's Lot]]''.

The composer [[Richard Causton (composer)|Richard Causton]] wrote a piece for solo flute, ''Sleep'', which is inspired by ''Mythistorema''.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://global.oup.com/academic/product/sleep-9780193359871?cc=us&lang=en&# |title=Sleep |date=2008|publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-335987-1 |location=Oxford, New York}}</ref>
