In the first section, Moammar Gadhafi, Benjamin Netanyahu and Elon Musk share the walls with Adele and Al Pacino, all in the sharp, unretouched close-ups of a photographer with more than 30 TIME covers. It is his biggest exhibition yet, and his first major one in Greece.

The second section goes back nearly four decades to Paros, where his family has roots. Against the white background that later became his signature, he photographed weathered faces, young women and landscapes from a way of life that has since changed. The museum sits on Pireos Street, the road down to the Paros ferry, and in November this is as far along it as you need to go.

Platon curated it himself. The Benaki's Giorgis Manginis calls it a show about people "and, inevitably, politics", and Platon says he is "not promoting anyone. Not even heroes". Tickets are 9 EUR (7 EUR reduced), online or at the door. It's open until 22:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, closed Monday to Wednesday.
