Palaio Faliro welcomes the Palaio Faliro Athens Riviera Photo Festival 2026 for the first time, from September 2 to 11, 2026. A new international festival dedicated to contemporary photography, the event is part of this year’s Palaio Faliro Festival programme. Taking place at the Cultural Venue of the Municipality of Palaio Faliro, the festival aims to establish the city as a new cultural destination on the Athenian Riviera and to foster an open dialogue between Greek and international photographers and the public.
The response to the international open call was particularly strong, with more than 115 photographers from 14 countries participating in the exhibition and presenting approximately 180 photographic works in total. Photographers from Greece and countries including France, Italy, Germany, the United States, Spain, China, India and Norway come together to create a diverse and multifaceted exhibition, highlighting photography as a space for encounters between different perspectives, cultures and artistic approaches.
The festival is curated by Dora Lavazou, Curator and founder of iFocus Photo Gallery.
