There are mini markets selling basic commodities, often open from early in the morning until quite late in the evening, depending on the season. There are three coffee shops mostly catering to the needs of the local male workforce taking a leisurely break from the heat of the day. As Giolou nestles on the edge of a valley at 368m above sea level, one of the coffee shops has a spectacular view of the whole of the valley stretching out to the sea at Polis. Because Giolou is set high on a hill, there is always a refreshing breeze. If fishing is your game, then take the short trip to the Evretou Dam, or if you fancy a few rounds of gold, Tsada golf course is a short drive away. For other entertainment in Giolou, the football stadium is often used to host plays, festivals and even the odd football match. The nearby sulphur springs and the restored monastery of Agia Anargyri, built in 1649 is said to be one of the first ever on the island.
