Overview
The colourful and joyful Paradise cafe/bar in Pomos, Paphos is bringing the 19th edition of their Jazz Festival this August. During one of the busiest weeks of the summer when lots of events are on as most locals are on holiday, jazz beats will echo on the 17th and 18th of August.
Two nights will be filled with live jazz bands with the highlight of the festival being saxophonist Gilad Atzmon, who’s returning to the festival after 12 years.

The final act at 23:00 is well-known Gilad Atzmon who is a respected jazz saxophonist, novelist, political activist and writer.
