Athens Photo World 2025

Under the auspicies of the Ministry of Culture

Athens Photo World, the annual photojournalism festival of Athens, returns to the city’s cultural scene for its seventh year.

True to its goal of promoting contemporary photojournalism and its protagonists, as well as their contribution to shaping the image of the world and History as it is being written through its exhibitions and activities, Athens Photo World has already succeeded in introducing the general public to contemporary photojournalism and photography.

Since 2019, tens of thousands of people have visited or attended photography exhibitions, talks, presentations and digital screenings as part of Athens Photo World, held in iconic and bustling venues across the city.

This year’s Athens Photo World continues with its two now established outdoor exhibitions in the city centre in its first, summer phase.
