Sousami is a small bar on Kitiou Kyprianou, in the old town of Limassol a few streets back from the seafront. It calls itself a bar, a club and an alternative concert venue, and all three happen in the same room: DJ sets, live gigs and record nights.
It is not an exclusively gay bar, because Limassol does not have one. Sousami is instead the room the city's queer scene has used for years. Cyprus Pride held a fundraising night here as part of its official programme, and the bar said publicly at the time that it supported the work behind it.
The crowd is young and mixed, the music leans alternative and electronic rather than chart, and the place is small enough that a good night fills it fast. It has been running for about fifteen years.
