Giolou is a village in the province of Pafos 300 meters above sea level. It is a village with a long history, that is why one can see it in old charts and texts.
The main church of Giolou is dedicated to Panagia Chryseleousa. In the village there are churches dedicated to Agios Georgios, Agios Markos, Agia Irini, Agios Arkadios, Agios Nippios and Prophet Elias.
In the village of Giolou there is also the old traditional mill, which serves almost all the surrounding villages of Pafos. The village offers two mini-markets, three tavernas and two local coffee shops ‘kafenions' where locals gather to socialise and chat covering everything from village gossip to political discussions over thick, strong coffee and maybe a game of backgammon. The emphasis on a holiday in this village is rest and relaxation.
