contents We discuss complex Farey graphs for the Euclidean imaginary quadratic number fields $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-d})$, $d\in\{1, 2, 3, 7, 11\}$. We study hyperbolic versions of A. Schmidt's Farey polygons living in $3$-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. Using these Farey polygons we recover tessellations of the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{H}^2$ that are defined by the action of the Hecke groups $H_4$ and $H_6$ and have been studied earlier by I. Short and M. Walker. Moreover, hyperbolic Farey polygons allow us to define polyhedra that induce Farey tessellations of $\mathbb{H}^3$ by the action of certain Bianchi groups. Using complex Farey graphs we consider geodesic complex continued fraction expansions. Our method provides a different and more general approach as the one from the discussion by M. Hockman.
