Nightlife Paphos Cyprus: Bars & Clubs

Cyprus is home to some of the best nightlife in the Mediterranean, with Ayia Napa offering some of the craziest events and clubs you can find. Nightlife in Paphos is a bit different, it's more chilled out than the rest of the island, and it's more about stylish hangouts in great locations than all-night parties.

That doesn't mean Paphos is short on bars and places to go. There's a lot going on in this seafront resort, with lots of places to spend lively evenings and nights out. There's great variety too, to smaller, more intimate bars for chilled hangouts, to lively bars, live music and full-on clubbing.

You'll find plenty of bars and restaurants down by the harbour, which offers a fantastic backdrop for your nights out in Paphos. You can start with a nice meal, dining al fresco with beautiful views across the water, before moving onto one of the many bars along the promenade.

There's quite a bit of choice, with each bar offering a different style and décor, from neon signs and outdoor hanging lamps to British pubs, Turkish-inspired lounges and even a Flintstones bar! Start your night off with a delicious cocktail and take in some of the eclectic styles before heading out to the bigger clubs.

Home away from home

Nightlife in Paphos has long been popular for Brits looking for a great time on holiday. That's why you'll find plenty of British-inspired pubs and bars around the resort.
