The story

Paradise Jazz Festival in Pomos

Paradise Jazz Festival began in 1999 at Paradise Place in the west-coast village of Pomos, built by founder Socratis Efstathiou into a household name for Cypriot and international jazz lovers, featuring vocalists, international soloists and late-night jam sessions. Recent editions have shifted venue to nearby Gialia, so current-year location should be confirmed directly.

Socratis Efstathiou started the Paradise Jazz Festival in 1999 at Paradise Place, a bar-restaurant in the small west-coast village of Pomos in the Paphos district, and the event has since built a reputation as a household name for jazz lovers across Cyprus and internationally, drawing acclaimed vocalists and international soloists to a stretch of coastline defined by dramatic rocky cliffs and villages that have retained an unhurried, traditional pace.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes this festival is its founding by a single dedicated organiser at a small bar-restaurant rather than a large institutional body, sustained for more than two decades on Cyprus's quieter north-western coastline, and its consistent late-night jam session format that has become the event's signature closing feature across recent editions expanding to four performances per day

02

The mystery stays covered

The dramatic rocky coastline and traditional villages of this stretch of Paphos district give the festival a genuinely unhurried, less-touristed setting distinct from Cyprus's larger coastal resort towns
