4th Chania International Photo Festival

4th Chania International Photo Festival is pleased to announce that it will be held again this year, faithful to its appointment. Despite the unprecedented conditions that the whole planet is still experiencing, we had a great response from photographers worldwide.

‍

This year, from July 1, 2021, photographs by 380 artists from 71 countries, will be presented at Grand Arsenal (Center for Mediterranean Architecture), in the Old Port of Chania. Cip Festival will once again be presented by LensCulture, an international photography platform with millions of registered photographers. This way we managed to have a much greater visibility of the Festival worldwide.
