This pleasant café-bar has tables outside in a shady garden, and serves good coffee, sandwiches, snacks and pastries.

It’s always party time at this loud and lively Pafos music bar, which is famous for its strong cocktails.

Also in the centre of things, Equinox plays a nightly medley of nostalgic classics from the 1960s to the 1980s.

You’ll find eight bars for the price of one in this drinker’s paradise so bring a man-sized thirst with you. There is something for everyone here, from the Down-under Sports Bar with big-screen sporting action to the Red Lion Pub serving English beers on tap.

Style-conscious Graffiti attracts few foreign visitors, perhaps because it’s in the town centre not in the tourist area. Relaxed background music, a good choice of drinks, and hookah pipes for those who like their tobacco Middle Eastern-style.

This huge venue is out of the tourist area but is worth the taxi fare. The music is a mix of European and Greek chart hits, with a choice of dancing spaces.

You can’t miss Rainbow, which flaunts its neon sign above Pafos’s “nightlife street”, Agiou Antoniou. It’s the resort’s longest established nightspot, with a musical menu that rivals anything in Agia Napa or even Ibiza, and guest DJs from the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.

A spot for real night owls, the Red Cube’s doors don’t even open until midnight and the joint then jumps until 4:30am on summer nights. Its DJs play soul, R&B and garage to a mixed audience of holidaymakers.

The Roadhouse does its best to recreate an English pub, with roast dinners on Sundays, a garden bar and live music most week nights.
